Do i still use my fan when i put my plant into flower or do i just balanced the humidity? If I can use a fan how high, and for how long?

Yes, you still need it, provided you're sure there are no males or hermie plants to scatter pollen around. The branches still need exercise to support the new growth which will, with luck, be quite heavy.As long as there's a decent breeze you're good. They don't need to be swaying like in a hurricane, just a nice breeze to keep them moving a bit. Oscillating fans obviously are best as they easily change the direction of the air movement.

Ok. Sounds good to me. So is the fan staying on 24 hours or as much as the light is on? I was reading that a fan will dry out the cola faster!!

Where are you finding this? They are incorrect. Maybe what you are thinking is of the part about the entire plant using more water. Think of it like yourself, you sweat and the wind blows it off, it is the same thing. You don't dry up, but you get thirsty faster. When there is more wind, the plants use more water.

Keep the fan on all day, or with the lights. Both should work since they don't need wind all of the time. I do 24/7 though. It wont hurt them.

In short, no, the fans will be fine, they are tough plants. 24/7
