Any tent fans that don't suck?

[Powertech]

They are out of season here, already checked. Think they may be too big, but I am also considering just putting a big ass fan at the top of the tent looking straight down.

You have the right idea, I had a 24" in the center of a 4x4, but i had it pointed up. Really moved the air around, didnt need any other fans even though i used them since i had them

If a fan sucks.. it's backwards. Flip it around.

Yeah but than the fan blows.

Stand on the other side. LOL.

The $13 walmart metal ones. Hang it by it's base. Ive also hung box fans with a small plastic pot zipped to the back so the tent wall doesn't suck up to it

My over population with SCROG requires more than my 6" can provide. Otherwise very accurate point.

Same problem, I’m pulling 850 of very dense buds scrogging. Need as much as I can get

congrats for resisting the elephant in the room for so long. Ultimately however

Improvise. All I can say honestly. Wish I was there. We'd be smoking. LOL.

I like tower fans flipped on their side, blowing a blanket of air above the canopy. Another one under the canopy is a great option too.

Nice. Which one is that? Do you have a link?

So I go through tent fans about every 3 months. I have tried all of the plastic ones I can find on Amazon and they all suck. Monkey fans, oscillating fans, static ones etc. Ideally I would like a kick ass oscillating fan that can last a year. Price doesn't matter, whatever the cost will be cheaper than replacing them sometimes monthly. I am at the point of buying a lot of 100 fans directly from China because I am sick of buying them one at a time.

go to the hardware store and get some lube for electronics like this stuff and put extra lube on the pieces connected to the fan blades. Some of mine are over a year old and still working.Apply the lube every 6 months or so.

I don't remember. It was just some cheap Honeywell brand which was on sale.

Honeywell are the best for the money.. They make them that oscillate and fixed that tilt and are easy to mount or hang.. Pretty much a no brainer for me in the future.

I buy the little ones. I have screws in the walls so when one dies I just replace it with another one. They usually last about a year running 24/7. But for like $13-15 that's fine with me.

This is what I used for a long time, but I just stood them in the corner. Lately I've been trying to maximize space so scog net fills from side to side and I took them out for the cheap pole clip types. Never thought about hanging them like that though. I like it.

I used mine in the corner for a while too, but never liked all the space it took up. One day the oscillating motor started to make noise, so I took it out of the tent. The fan part still worked fine, and hating to waste things I decided to take off the base and rig it up sideways. I remembered seeing some growers on the GML show doing it that way for larger rooms too.

I just ordered a lasko 40" fan for my 4x4, pretty hyped about it, this is my favorite fan solution for a tent of this size so far. There are tons of good commercial fans for big spaces but the tent options suck so bad! Janky 6" clip ons that either barely push air or slip off easy, oscillating fans that die in less than 6 months, etc. Some of these towers would be fine standing up too, but I love the idea of hanging them on the side.
