Opinions on fans during flower?

Das Bud Meister · Jan 17, 2016

Hi guys,

I've just switched to flower in my first grow and I've seen a lot of people saying during flower fans shouldn't blow directly onto the canopy (and buds) due to dehydration? As its my first grow i'm not sure what to do so I'd like to gather a few opinions! Currently have an oscillating fan blowing half onto/half above the canopy as well as small intake/exhaust fans in my tent

Any replies will be much appreciated! And if anyone wants to check out my grow its in my signature

Ive never noticed any ill effect from buds getting a small amount of turbulent air,I wouldnt point a vortex at em or anything,but a small oscillating fan is fine

If possible keep the majority of the blowing air between the light and the tops. Really the problem is when you have really low humidity AND a fan wicking moisture away.

Yeah I figured, my humidity is at 55% so should be alright I think- cheers bro

I've noticed the buds closest to the fan were somewhat bigger/denser then ones further away

How high is your rh? If its high enough the fan may be lowering it to optimal levels. Higher resin content at 40%rh or so. So it definitely could be the case in your space!

Around 55% RH
