Lol u don't really need much movement at all at that stage, and I'm guessing u mean an oscillating fan and not an extractor as 12" is far to big an extractor for an 80x80 tent.
I've got a 7" oscillating in a 1x1x2m tent and that does perfect with 6 plants in there.
Yeah it's an oscillating, got a 4" extractor at the top.

I'd read a few times to get them in early to build the thicker stems. When would you say it's time to put them in? They just wobble a few cm each time the fan passes at the moment.

Keep them in now but just have it on the low setting and blowing between the light and tops of the plants rather than directly onto the little plants. Yeah a bit of movement helps the stems but too much can fuck them as well !

Ok that's great. Would you shut the fan off when the lighting is off? Seen a few discussions on that too. Or is that just down to personal preference?

It's your choice but I always have my fans running 24/7 it's only my lights that are on a timer ! Remember when ur lights are off humidity goes up so u want the air movement to help avoid any chances of mold developing later on in flower !

Will leave them running then. I had read a good point that wind and rain doesn't just happen during the day so it's fine to leave them on.

Thanks man.
