Fan setup & duration in tent

Hi all, what does everyone do regarding their fans? How does this setup sound? : i have a 2x4 tent with a vivosun e6 oscillating fan blowing across the canopy. This runs during the 18 hours the lights are on.

When the lights turn off I have a small 6" non-ocillating fan blowing towards the bottom/middle of the plants.

(The vivosun manual says oscillating fans burn out quickly if running 24/7.)

I have two fans one that runs for 50 minutes, then I have another blowing from other direction the ten minutes the other fan is off.

I think that's just them covering their back.

Most people i think would agree that what causes an oscillating fan to break os the weak gear mechanism.

I wouldn't do anything other than 24/7 personally.

But if you want to let the fan rest because they say it in the manual then just have it stop for an hour in the middle of lights on.

When the lights are off is RH spikes , so that's not when I'd want my main fan off

Don't blow air directly on plants, it is preferred if your RH and Temps are solid to not run fans at all.
If you must have fans, make them as slow as you can and make sure they are not blowing strong on plants.
