Small fans will not be as easy to find now as in summer, but with your small area like mine, a 6" desk fan will suffice.
Probably Wal Mart, K Mart, Camping World.
I actually use a 6" desk fan that I got over 10 years ago from Camping World.
Trick with the small fans is once a month or so, take the front grill off, and spin the fan by hand, If you feel a little resistance, squirt some Deep Creep or WD40 down the front and back of the shaft into the bearing, and you will feel it loosen up.
The motors on these are so small, that any excess resistance will wear them out prematurely.

Haha shit well ty for lookin out brotha, Ok so i'll go grab a fan today :P, is just a reg standing/sitting fan ok? nothing special right? And to be honest i dont want to mess with Holes through my walls because its two options into my room, or into the other wall that goes outside and would be right next to the front door which is a no go. So i'll be ok with a reg fan correct?
ahhh well fuck PM haha

And what does Humidity even do for my plants? also here is a pic of my temp gauge and humidity level, my lowest humidity level was 34%. Ok so what should i do about humidity then?

ya, any old fan will do as long as it will actually move your plants a bit and not to much. Whoever suggested the inline fan did so because if your plants turn out nice youll probly get some good smell coming off of them. That usually requires an inline fan and carbon filter set up. If you dont want to cut holes or vent it out your window you can just set it up to scrub, that just means that you let the fan pull air through the filter and then it goes nowhere cept back into the room. No ducting at all. Your just cleaning the air.
humidity is one of those things you can fuss aboit if you want, i dont fuss much with it. If you get spider mites youll want to raise it but 50/60 is good for veg and 40/50 is good for flower...i think, you might want to check those facts. Lower humidity in flower prevents botrytis but theres some controversy over how the stoma react so ive just said....fek it. If i end up with a problem ill deal with it, untill then i dont care. Im currently running 62% in bloom and not having any problems.

Ok so grabbed a fan today at wally world n threw it in the closet right now, just a little 6" fan, Its on one side of the closet blowing to the other, two of the plants are closer than the other so i guess i'll just move the fan to each side 12/12? or is one side of air ok? 2 of the plants are moving a little from the wind, the other two (the farther ones) are jus slighty very slighty moving thats why im saying i'll move it back n forth but do i need to?
And when i got back from the store my grow room felt kinda warm, temp gauge said 81F is that ok? whats max temp i should look out for. Also how do i get my humidity up? it just varies 35-40%

I think it would be easier to rotate positioning of the plants rather than to keep moving the fan and worrying about the cord.
That would also let you randomly spin the pots in relation to the lighting.
As far as temp, I wouldn't let it get much higher, 85 at the most.
Every once in a while mine gets up to 85, but more than that, I've heard may affect the density of the finished buds.

So ok this morning checkn out the girls and notice that the 2 "weaker" 1's are starting to look better, the stems seem to be bulging at the bottom? looks like growth but only in the bottom idk, the 2 "stronger" 1's already have a thicker stem so they dont look bulged. Idk this growing stuff seems so goddamn confusing every other second there is something new going on idk wtf to think lol.

holy shit bruhhh that thing is enormous! Why is the soil look like a hill around the base of the stem? also i seem your soil looks compacted. Mine isnt fluffy but it can be pushed down a little, how should it be?

That's the rootball from the last pot, and now the roots that have grown out to the edge of this pot (yes, I just ran my finger around the outside because I have been worried about it, and caught a few roots, but don't want to repot for just another 3 or 4 weeks).
Ya, yours should be kinda loose like you say.
The top of mine kinda packed down a little, because when I water, the first half inch or so of the soil floated the perlite that was mixed in.

thats cause hes using shitty mircale mud.

the hill is the roots.

You just like starting shit....dont you small child......ive never seen anyone talk as much shit as you do and have absolutely NOTHING to back it up except fucked up failed attempts at growing what you claim to be weed.....i believe its past your bed time little boy.

GROW UPDATE: START OF WEEK 3 (VEG)
So Today is start of week 3, havent posted here in about a week been super busy with work, here are some updates on the girls:

Watered again on Thurs, Each 3 16oz water bottles worth again. showed good drainage each. dumped drain pans through back under lights. (will be do for another watering tomorrow im thinking)

Did my routine check up on them in the morning on saturday and started noticing some discoloration very minimal though on 1 plant, i said hmm could be from what i got from the club so i pushed it off and said ill give it a day or two... well it was a day or two and now certain leafs are looking like there discoloring really bad or drying up and dieing! (pics attached) i snapped a leaf off on one cuz it was so crispy like black/green! (pics attached) It looks like its only old leafs and not on any new growths... except one new leaf? Help please!

Havent showed pics of them in awhile.... and they are doing good! the "two strong ones" are doing good. One is getting really bushhy and the other is falling behind! One of the "weak ones" surpassed one of the "strong ones" and is now doing better!!! im happy about that , not that one of my plants is doing worse just that im seeing one of the "how i called weak" plants is getting better. In the pics you'll see them lined up. i lined them up from what i think is strongest to weakest lol. Or biggest to smallest. they are growing!!! They all started in there pots at 8", 2 of them are 10" one 11" and the big one is 12-3/4"!!!!! Stretched?

What do you guys think about the Leafs? What would be causing that? and i thought FFOF has nutes before some one says its a def????
How do you guys think the plants look?

Note: there are Repeated pictures of same leafs just attempting to get different views.

Im at work atm but will try to give a better reply when i get home. from looking at the pics on my phone. not the best way to view mind you so this diagnosis might be a lil off hence y i say i will try to help when i get home. R u using distilled water? If so you may have tto start supplementing calcium and magnesium although it does not look like mg. i would think a nute prob since leaf tips r not curled up so do some research on deficincies in the mean time till i can offer a lil more help
EDIT: K so I got off work (12 hours is a bitch) and looked at the photos on my tv. Side note, if you have a laptop and a flatscreen get an HDMI cord and hook that shit up you will not regret it. Any ways back to the pressing matter, threw it up on the big screen and looks like the late stages of P deficiency to me amigo. But that of course my opinion. But you did say the spots were dark before they died right? Try giving them some stand alone P bloom fert of some sorts. It is def not an overdose so if all you have is 1-3-2 or some shit it def won't hurt.

WOW!
Even though you're in FF, I think that's a P deficiency.
That's how one of my last ones looked when she got P lockout from being out in the 40 degree weather.
It may be time to start feeding.View attachment 2532556
