I've been doing some "testing", or whatever you want to call it, with my fans.
I've run a week with exhaust and circulating fan, and then a week with just exhaust. Did that for 4 weeks total, 2 weeks with each on an alternating schedule.
Here's what I've noticed. With both fans running, growth seems a little slower than with just the exhaust. Just the exhaust seems to grow a little faster. I really thought it would have went the other way.
I've done some mild research to try and figure out why, or if I'm just crazy. The only thing I could find particularly of relevance was the stress by the circulating fan could be slowing growth... Maybe.
Now, I also figured that the stems/stalks would grow larger with the circulating fan, for obvious reasons. I haven't noticed a difference. I do add small amounts of silica.
Just wondering if anyone else has tried it or noticed it. I always believed a circulating fan was necessary, but now I'm not so sure. I haven't tried it on flowering plants, only veg, and different species react the same as well.
