Hi All,

Happy Wednesday!

Quick question, based on the pictures attached of my setup, would you personally stick the oscillator above or below the canopy? Or one above and one below?

Slightly above canopy, watch for leaf "burn" or wind damage, they dont need alot of air, just some movement

You don't want the fan blowing right on your plant, I would move it to the top as suggested.

I always run 2 fans in my tents and set so they move the air around the tent indirectly.

I will sometimes move 1 fan to the bottom of the tent if the foliage is thick and/or I'm having problems with humidity.

I run a small 8” fan blowing under the canopy and a slightly larger one blowing above it. I keep the upper fan set on low and barely clipping the tops of the plants. Just enough breeze to keep the air moving and the tops barely swaying.

If you’re interested I can get you some pics of my plant that has some wind burn : )

Im in the camp of more wind all over. But the suggestions you’ve got from members here are spot on : )

Hey @Tms sorry to clog your thread but I figure it is on topic to your question. @BaldrickTX heres a pic, mind you there could be other factors at play but im pretty sure the ripple like affect is to much wind right on that plant.

As I'm on my 1st grow and know next to nothing, what am I looking for?

Taking a guess...the middle finger on the large leaf in the front has a ripple to it on one side. But I do notice the tips on a lot of the fingers are tipping down a bit.

Am I close, or is it something else.
I have 4 fans going on in my tent and would like to know if I'm hurting my plants.

Thanks for posting the picture. Nice one!

Yeah the edges of the leaves : ) the tip curl I’m not sure what that is.
