Circulation fan too powerful?

[coopersheldon]

So i only have 1 circulation fan. its pretty big and powerful and at the moment it blows across the top of my girls, moving all the of them.

my question is... will a fan that is "too powerful" actually effect the end smell of the cannabis? i have been reading that the terpenoids (excuse spelling) can be effected by strong winds and wont develop.

any thoughts?

wondering if i should move the fan below the canopy

You are right. Strong fan can bring damage to your plant. Try to move it further.

My outdoor endured 40 mph winds this summer..turned out dank. At springtime i kick up the winds in my veg so they can handle the high winds right off.
If your plants leaves arnt splitting or fraying then they are handling it fine. Strong winds help them get stronger

We use those radial 18" fans without problem. Maybe you can get away with a smaller fan or set your fan on a lower setting.

I noticed a bit of powdery milder (literally tiny speckle on the back plant) so thinking i should move it below the canopy

When the lights go out in my op the radial fan goes off with the light. On all the time is one six inch fan about two feet from the ceiling blowing air down towards the canopy and a couple 12vdc computer fans passing air through the plant(s) all the time. Seedlings are more prone to broken branches than are cloned plants. It really isn't fair to deny a plant a bit of rain. This is why I use a pump up sprayer. This not only helps keep the plant(s) clean but also aids in the health of plants.
