Intake fan placement

Im building a cabinet and will most likely scrog it so I'm wondering if I should place the intake fan at some height above the screen to blow over the buds or should I place it under the screen blowing on the plant after it has been lollipopped with the fan being above I can get some nice air flow through the buds hopefully the plant won't get wind burn lol but it being above seems like it won't get as good airflow through the whole cabinet so let me know what you think would be better
Thanks in advance

Not sure if this is right but I like to exhaust from the top of my area and intake from the bottom since heat rises I figured exhausting from top would be best. Good luck.

I know it needs to be low to the ground the scrog will be fairly close to the ground so I was wondering if I could place it above the net to provide better airflow through the scrog screen

When you work with negitive pressure, the intake needs to sit low or you will not get any fresh air below the intake.

Your question was answered 3 times already. Not sure how much more specific one can be, but I'll give it a go.
If you want air blowing across the canopy, then put a fan on it. Your intakes main job should be to aid in the exchange of air in the room/tent and keep the temps lower.
As already stated, put the intake on the lowest point of the tent opposite side of the exhaust. This way you get maximum air exchange and aid in exhausting the hot air and forcing the cool air to rise up keeping temps lower. Both the intake and exhaust have a specific place in the tent for a reason. This is why tent manufacturers design the exhausts and inlets in the same spots from tent to tent. Hope this helps.

That's what I was trying to find out smart ass I wanted to know if placing the fan above the scrog net would mess with the air flow throughout the entire cabinet I even said that shit in the original post i didn't find the answer I was looking for til I clarified what I was asking more
