AIR CIRCULATION QUESTION

Hey guys I've been thinking about air circulation and was hoping to get some input on this.
now my question is should my fan be blowing directly on the body of the plants? meaning from the top down to the bucket top.
Or should i raise the fans to blow across the top of the canopy? i run s.o.g grows and have been dealing with fan leaves rubbing together and inturn damaging the leaves. my other thought on it is would the plant be receiving the c02 fast enough before the fan oscillates back and blows it around again? i do not add c02 but was curious about it.
any feedback would be great I'm going to be adding equipment so I'm looking forward to your advise!

I run my fans right above the cannopy. I have vertical lights so I have alot of radiating heat so the fans help move the air around so it doesn't toast the buds. I also have some big turbo fans on the floor blowing air around. IMO if you point the fan right at the cannopy you wind damage your leaves.

ya i figured i was doing that, ill be raising it today. thanks for the input.
I use a circulating tower fan. So it is blowing along most of the plant.
i was going to run tower fans but with so many plants i couldn't see the air flowing enough. i use wall mounts in the tent so i don't take up floor space.

Get a box fan and tie it to the roof and it will stay spinning. A little cuban trick i learned lol

I use two oscillating fans that are pointed above the canopy. Ive found you can have them pointed at the leaves with no damage if you keep the speed low.
