Lights out fans on ?

I was curious, when my lights go out is it fine to keep a fan or 2 going or no ?
When lights are on, plants transpire, respire, and photosynthesize. When lights are off, plants respire and transpire.

Running fans during lights out is arguably even more important than when lights are on. When lights are on, temperatures are higher and that reduces the chances for mold and bud rot to set in. When the lights go out, temps drop and, PM and bud rot really like it when temps get below 74 and even more so at 70 (depending on whose research you read). Fans will help ensure that spores don't settle on leaves.

This is from a person who lost a very nice (20 cola) plant a year ago to bud rot. o_O

I even simulate earth quakes by shaking them for a few mins
We rarely get em heres so damn old its mostly built and dead hell we got one proly dead volcano possibly dormant and a couple of boundary fault lines but a earthquake here isnt strong at all a mild shake however if you do grow out over here after the rain it does pay to go shake your plants after it stops if it stops it never caused em any harm ime

This is why i never had bud rot indoors on any of my plants i suspect cos i always make sure airflow is on the overkill side of things to be safe cos humidity is high most of the year here your right tho i seen many learn the hard way and its a sore one to see
