Hi ... First time growing some autos. Week 4/5. My problem is my oscillator fan. My tent is small, only 4 ft tall and just wide enough for 2 plants. My osc is small, 2 settings only but seems too strong for my tent. My issue is on lowest level, it's cooling the tent too much. I'm only on 19.5 ° and that's with the fan blowing from the outside of the tent!! Air blowing thru vent. If I put it inside either I'm going to get hurricane conditions and wind burn or I'm gonna need a balaclava and gloves when I'm tending my babes. My humidity is is slightly low but that's because of the wind situation and coldness. I can't see anywhere that sells mini osc fans and don't really know what wattage to get. I'm on a budget also... My tent is in a cabin that has heating and I've wacked that up to max, but it's counter productive. Question, can I just leave tent door open with fan about 1meter away during light cycle? Or any suggestions welcome
Osc Fan or no osc fan?

definitely need air movement. look at mini oscillating tower fans. I have a few from Lasko brand u can find on Amazon for around $25 or less.
I would not keep the tent door open, its inviting bugs and dust, defeating purpose of using a tent to begin with.
Presumably your taking the temps at canopy level, if that's the case you're more important root balls will likely be on verge of minimum temperature.
You need a to have a fan blowing directly into the lamp, it'll start air circulating down around the pots and warming more with a bit of time.
When they start to flower you'll have problems with humidity without the right airflow and heat!

this one is good, the low speed is just right. has an annoying led on power button so either put elec tape over it or use in a veg tent.
this one is a little stronger and I like that you can angle top and bottom seperate

That's ace! A bracket on the pole should do it! The internal poles won't make fan turn but on a bracket
Oh yes the L bracket holds it far enough away from the corner so it can work as normal.
All the best with your grow!
So now done some moving around. Fan inside, upside down and blowing on lights. Temp now at 22 and humidity up at 80 so all good. I'm only at pre flower stage (1 day ago) so I'll maybe only get pop corn but it's only for personal. I'll invest in a tower next go. Thanks guys for all yr help.
