will a fan pointed to the plant/s really make the stem stronger? ive never actullaly tried this. can i leave it on for only like 8 hours? or does it need to be continuous for this to work?

It will help to strengthen the stems to support all the nice buds you'll be growing

Also helps with ventilation

Mine is on a timer with the lights. 8 - 12 hours a day is ok. You're just trying to recreate the effect that the wind would have on the plant if it was growing outside.

Wind on plants is like working out for humans...it breaks down the cells and regrows them over top of the others...just tlike human muscle does.

yeh really you should use a oscilating fan so the breeze moves also having a fan on 24/7 not only strengthens the stem and keeps the air circulating it also helps prevents mold,but if you can only have it on for 8-12 hours thatll be much better than nothing.peace
