Hi there friend. It is a common misconseption that a fan in the grow room/tent drops the temperature. This in NOT the case. You need a fan for 2 reasons. 1: A fan in the grow room can actually increase the temp. a bit as it dissolves hot air spots made by the lights so you have a more uniformed temperature and the plant is not frying at the top and freezing in the bottom .You have more accurate readings in your thermometer. 2: As previous answers pointed out, wind (but not too much wind) forces the plant to adapt by thickening the stems and that my friend is what you want. Bud weight, resiliance to mold and pests, shorter time between waterings are all things (also) affected just from a small fan. So do yourself a favor and go buy that shit first thing in the morning. Good luck my friend and may you enjoy your grow.

I'd actually like to direct you to a very interesting story (true story) about the effects of wind on plant life and just how important it is. You don't have to read it, but it's fascinating and shows just how much 'wind' and/or circulation matters. Link: https://www.howtogeek.com/trivia/the-absence-of-wind-in-the-biosphere-2-research-lab-proved-severely-detrimental-to/ Not the exact article I had read long ago, this is actually more 'professional' but the facts are clear. Without wind (air flow) your plants will be weak. They may not fall over like in the story example, but come flowering time and all that weight being put on, can cause laterals to snap/crack/break. Wind is so important, and it was an oversite on my part for a long time. When I read this story, I added more fans and increased circulation. Plants became more rigid and firm after doing so. Cheers and good luck with the new girls (pretty close together though. Are you plucking some in future?) Happy grows! Drop me a line in PM if you need anything else👍👍

You can get any cheap fan mate for under 20bucks. It's so important. In the vegetative stage it will make her grow thick and strong. And in the flowering stage it will help fatten up and mature your flowers. 🌱👍

Hi jckherer You will be able to go with out ventilation or fan Most probably. But your plants will be lanky, easy to overwater because your soil will dry off really slowly and when they grow big they will be very prone to mould and Bud root issues. All this. Because off no air circulation. Really? It's worth to get a fan in there mate. Hope this help and good luck with your grow. Happy Growing

Stems will be weak, and buds won’t develop properly. Weed is wind-pollinated.
