man i didn't think it would be so much work taking care of these buggers!

anywho. i'm in a room or what ev and in the room there is a closet with a 400 watt bulb. there are 2 nice size fans and 1 mini fan. i fight to keep it under 82 most of the time but i just found a rather nice combonation with 1 fan in front of my plants shooting out, one weaker fan on the floor blowing air into the closet. and the other little fan does not do much. anyways combined with my AC i found an awesome way to keep it 76-78 which makes me so happy, the only problem is my plants kinda sway in the wind...not violently, but still noticeable almost shaking? i dunno it dosnt look like they are being damage but i dunno...which is why i made this thread.....am i hurting my plants with the fan blowing on them?

gentlely blowing makes for goodstrong stalks butcan dry the plant easily if to much without comparable humidity,

You never want to blow air on a plant constantly. That's why oscillating fans are used, so the plant gets moved by the air, and then is still, and then moved again.

Air blowing in one place constantly will dry out/suffocate the plant.

3 fans in a closet is too much for them,the fan can be moved further away if its making the plants shake your aim with the fans is to stop the build up of stagnation in the air so a gentle breeze is best for the quest..........

yes you do. if you dont have the moving fans. place your fans to blow up and down and to the side. so it will still get to em but not direct.

Dude, simply get a 3" hole saw, and drill a hole in a corner on the ceiling and install a decent bathroom exhaust fan. It'll help ALOT.

Naw, not at all. Even with a 4 inch axial fan, blowing into the attic constantly will help change the air in the attic, too. The odors will be blown up and out through any attic openings.
