enough to agitate the leaves, but not blow them around, not till there older, then a little more wind.

Not to take away from advice allready given but box fans suck,they just dont move enough air,your way better off with a 20 inch oscalating fan,when the plants are very small you want just enough air movement so the leaves flutter,as they grow you want to increase air flow & leaf movement.

Instead of having your fan/s set on low leave them on high,then aim the air flow in such a way that the reflection off the walls will make the plants flutter,the more air flow the better.

Once their budding air flow is crucial to guard against mold,mildew & bud rott,you want as much air flow as possible with as much air moving over the buds as possible,the fatter & denser the bud becomes the more crucial air flow becomes,its hard for mold to grow or thrive in an air stream.

In a 10x 12 budding area i use 4 20 inch oscalating fans set on high with each fan at a different height,its impossible to have too much air flow.
