Won't Oscillate Anymore

ElevatedNoobstarted grow question 5y ago

I was wondering what type of oscillating fans that everyone uses in small grow tents. I have been using the Vivosun fans and since they won't last I'm looking for alternatives. In case it matters I'm growing in a 27x27x63 MarsHydro tent.

I use the Holmes lil blizzard oscillating fan. My oldest one has been running pretty much 24 hours a day for almost 2 years. They are powerful for the size also.

these are my two favorite oscillating fans, one is smaller with tweezers, the other is bigger but the support is better in my opinion: https://thgrow.com/en/air-extraction/7787-ventilador-monkey-fan-oscilante-20w.html https://thgrow.com/en/air-extraction/6717-ventilador-clip-fan-oscilante-18-cm.html

@ElevatedNoob hi mate I used to use those clip on types but found they lacked the airflow I needed so I purchased a normal oscillating type fan removed the base and hung it upside down in one corner of my small grow tent it blows atleast 4 times as much air than a clip on type and oscillates well

Grow Tent/Room setup in the basement - dehumidifier or humidifier needed?I’m planning a small grow setup in my basement and have a room that’s holding a steady 17–18 °C (62–64 °F) with about 55–58% relative humidity. My plan is to vent the exhaust from the grow box straight outside through an existing duct. Will I need a de- or humidifier? Thanks!

How crucial is an exhaust fan and a carbon filter?I cant find anything in my country as a kit, but would buying them piece by piece work? Example something like in the photo connected to an air duct and then to a carbon filter? Or if the exhaust fan is not crucial? how can i get rid of the smell in a cheaper way?

Ich möchte nur ungern einen Ventilator einsetzen, weil das vermutlich die Lautstärke der Box deutlich erhöht. Schon mal vielen Dank für eure Erfahrungen.

Maintaining VPD I've got my photoperiod doing well in a 2x2 tent. I'm trying to regulate my VPD with what I have on hand. Currently I'm running my exhaust fan for 8 minutes every hour to get an average VPD around 1, but I'm concerned about the swings. Am I micromanaging?

Slowing a two speed inline fan Can I run a fan speed controller with a dual speed inline fan? My 4” two speed fan is slightly too powerful for my grow room. I’d like to slow the fan slightly but I have heard the these types of controllers don’t work with two speed fans? Any advice or what to buy to do the job?

Using humidistat to control fan, will this cause problems? So far fan running for 30 secs every two minutes! Plz advise if this is not a good idea??My exhaust fan is to powerful no speed control just two settings. On the lowest setting the fan is still sucking all the humidity that my humidifier creates out of the tent. So I have bought a humidity controller hooked it up with the humidifier and fan.. It’s working great!!

Cooling whilst using humidifier outside a small grow tent I have a small 90x90x60cm grow tent with a VIPARSPECTRA 300W LED. Heat levels are crazy and running a small humidifier with ice blocks inside the tent along side extraction isn’t cutting it. Could I buy a bigger humidifier, keep it outside the tent duct it in to keep it cool?
