does too much wind dry out developing buds? and does it make the plant dryer and use more water in the res? or stop water going up the plant to the top?

Yes, dry them out, damage them, rip them out of the ground even. Too much wind can do a lot.

Your plants only need a gentle breeze, then, no.

if your useing hydro outside, then you have to take evaporation of the nute res into account too.
shame there isnt a picture or three to go by.
what type of grow you get there, more info would be good.
what is the res? a dwc, nft, flood n drain?

Too much wind. Hum...

Air circulation is needed to displace stagnant excess humidity in creeks and crevices in the flowers, otherwise the risk of mildew rises. So it's needed.

If you have a tent, direct the fan up, down, on the walls, anywhere but directly on the plants.

If you're outdoor, putting your plant in holes no deeper than 12 inches, but 3 feet wide, helps keep it upright in strong winds. Keep in mind that the more you amend your holes with stuff like Peat/Promix and perlite and nice airy stuff, the more you'll need to stake the plant.

it all depends on your rh. if its really low the fan will aid in drying out leaves and buds. best to have it moving around and not just in one spot all the time.

My RH is about 80-90% during flower and one of my ceiling fans are on full blast about 1m away from the canopy (due to broken speed controller, this fan is on max).
I haven't seen any different affects vs the ones under the fans that are on lower speed.
