Right now I'm thinking four of the secret jardin monkey oscillating fans Link

I'm going to mount one above the canopy and one below at opposite corners. I'm thinking getting two of these four foot pipes Link and flanges Link so I can mount them to the ceiling. I'm using the same setup for my camera and it works well.

Those monkey fans suck almost had a fire with one and the replacement lasted like 2 weeks. I hear there was a bad batch....maybe but I don't trust them.

Any other ones you'd recommend that oscillates? I had the vivosun ones from amazon and one failed within a few months so I'm not too keen on those.

I just use small clip on fans from the hardware store now.......funny this one is almost 2 years old now. I also have a large one I put in there if rh is up. But I have low rh in the heating months because I use wood to heat. Oscillating fans are nice but not needed. That was what broke on the 2nd monkey fan. With a small room like yours you can strategically place the fans to work with your intake to work better.....I think anything made and marketed for cannabis is usually junk. Nothing like 20 years ago quality has gone to shit.

You can also grow something else like peppers or something you like so you can dial in the room without loosing good plants.

if I wanted to cover the top and underneath, how many fans do you think I would need if they didn't oscillating?

You have air coming in lower back left under the canopy.....put a lower fan to the front blowing to the right. One on top or bottom of the canopy on the right center should make things better. Your exhaust is on the upper front. You might want to run with some other plants in there. Is your screen removable? If so pull it and try to get a canopy around the same hight and density. Fine tune from there
Exhaust speed and intake size will change lots in terms of flow and velocity. Not saying this is the best way but it's where I'd start. Another thing I just thought about...... maybe extend the exhaust to a more central location.....again don't know if it will make a huge difference but worth a try.

should I keep the big 18" wall fan with this setup? Yes the screen is modular and can be removed.

Currently my exhaust comes out the front at the top left hand side, the can sits against the wall and ceiling. The room is against the wall on the back side so I can't really move the port. Here's a pic of how it was. Gotta take it down before @GreatwhiteNorth sees it and shames me for my ducting ;)

I'm not saying move the port in the wall.....hang the filter in the middle ;)

Totally forgot about your big fan......you might only need the small fan on the center right then.......big one was in the way anyway right?

Try it like that first......least expensive way.

We decided to get back at it right away. I ordered some wedding cake seeds and bought the fans and hangers over the weekend. I had to order the fans so they won't be here for a few days. I mounted a pole in each corner and I'm gonna run four 8" fans. I disassembled and cleaned the black oscillating fan I had in the room and I'll reuse that one under the canopy.

I didn't remove the panda film. I bleached the hell out of the walls then I taped all the seams with clear gorilla tape.
