Another fan never hurts, (alright ...almost never). Now, as long as your temp at canopy level is good, you can use a fan to cool your ballast, like you have it, but the light is designed to run without that fan cooling it. You mentioned "airflow throughout the tent", so I'll take it you have an exaust fan and are pulling in fresh air. In general in a tent, you want to pull your fresh and cool air in from the bottom of the tent and set your exaust fan and carbon air scrubber in the top of the tent to exaust out the hotest air. During winter, when I need more heat in my tent, I place a fan on my light just like you've discribed, to push that heat down to the canopy and slow down my exaust fan, but during the summer I set my fans on the floor of the tent pointing upwards to push the cooler air up and speed up my exaust. All that said, summer or winter, I keep fans blowing at and through the canopy 24/7. To keep that air moving over and through the entire plant you will want the fan AND to defoliate from time to time to keep good air flow.
Your plants look VERY nice and healthy. Keep up the good work!
Hope that helps.

Defoliation to to maintain plant health is absolutely crucial in aome strains. Airflow through the plant is key.

Or you can leave the leaves and end up with high internal plant humidity leading to poor transpiration, risk of bacterial or fungal infection and declined plant health.

Healthy leaves provide good photosynthetic rates… poorly transpiring plants do not. You are concerned with over all plant photosynthesis not leaf per leaf… newer more photosynthetic leaves are the most important.

Or just read the link i posted as it explains in more depth. Not all plants need defoliation but this plant does. More leaves does not always mean more photosynthesis
