What do you mean when you say they look over watered? Some pictures of whatever you are talking about would be very helpful but if you cant put them up then at least a more detailed description of whats going on would be nice. I run an oscillating fan on high on my grow room constantly and never had a problem.:leaf:
 
Unless you have a special fan that waters your plants, I don't see any possible way your fan would make your plants over watered. Keep in mind..under watered and over watered look pretty much the same. Ph issues can cause drooping as well.
The fan is a good thing, because it not only circulates air and helps disperse heat, but it simulates the breezes found in nature and promotes thicker stems and branches. Now...if it is blowing so hard it is tipping the plants right over...you may want to turn it down or direct it so it isn't blowing straight on the plants.

MAYBE ONE DAY PEOPLE WILL REALIZE THAT FANS DONT NEED TO BE DIRECTLY APPLIED NEAR OR TO YOUR PLANTS... DONT NO HOW MANY TIMES I NEED TO SAY THIS. OVERDOING THE VENTALATION PROCESS. SLOW THAT FAN DOWN TO MINIMAL SETTINGS AND DONT AIM FAN TOWARDS PLANTS BUT AWAY SO THAT ENOUGH AIR IS HITTING YOUR PLANTS ON 1 of 2 rotations barely. NOT ROCKET SCIENCE

i agree to disagree. i think fans blowing directly on plants will be at least 10 times stronger than one pointed at the corner blowing air around the room. put one blowing directly over your canopy and one blowing through the bottoms is about perfect IMHO.

well put... the one on the canopy to strenghthen new growth on top and in the beginning the one on bottem will strengthen the main stem after thants strong enough you can aim it towards the branches on bottem
