Hey all. I have a 4x4 tent. I have an Ac infinity intake with carbon filter. But does anyone have any advice on fan placement. As in my air circulation. Oscillating fans for around tent ?

It all depends on a lot of things. Many variables. Set it up one way, then think about it, and you might change it half way through. Show us a picture of the set up and we can critique.

4x4 you only need small fans, as for the AC Infinity inline fan what size do you have? For a 4x4 you should at least have a 6" fan to keep air recycling in the tent. For moving around air in the tent and preventing stale air zones you can use something like this in the tent. You don't need direct wind blasting on the plants.

I just need some advice on which fans to use and where to place them in my tent and where to point them ?
Oh, I would have one pointing near the bottom of the plants to allow for flow down there and put one in the top where it'll blow air across the top of the plants, again you don't need direct flow on the plants if anything it causes damage.

Placing Fans In The Grow Area https://www.growweedeasy.com/exhaust
Most indoor cannabis growers use fans to blow air around within the grow area. This creates a nice breezy environment that cannabis plants love.

Placing Fans

  • Ideally you’d like a nice breeze surrounding the main canopy, which means you want air blowing above and under the plants.
  • Don’t point a strong fan directly at a plant, because too much wind can start to damage the leaves and stems.
  • After placing fans, check around the grow area to make sure that all parts get a slight breeze. If you feel stagnant air or a lack or breeze, you may want to adjust your fans.
  • Small oscillating fans are great for the grow space since they’re cheap and can be used to provide a nice gentle breeze to a relatively wide area without blowing on any one part too long.

I don’t know too many other Calvin’s, nice to see another one. And I couldn’t agree more with the illustration. Creating a tornado type of wind movement has always worked well for me.

You will move them accordingly.

You want to make the leaves dance..... a wiggle NOT a head Bangers Ball.

Big bush, move the fan, turn the girl. We can't tell you, YOU tell us where works.
