Does anyone know where I can get a mini oscillating fan from? In fact, it doesn't even need to actually be oscillating, but that's what I'm hoping for. When I say mini, I mean no bigger than 4 inches. I have a grow area that is 58" T x 28" W x 20" D. Pictures of it are included. I've searched and searched and can't find any fans that I need!

Thanks h8hopo, but I already bought a 6" fan, but it still takes up a lot of room, I need to return it. I need something no bigger than 4 inches it seems. Here is a link to the exact fan that I have that I need to return.

That's probably what I'll end up getting, but where can I mount it in my box? I don't really want to make another hole in the box (that's a homemade grow box), but I may have too. I just wanted something else to move the air around a little.

I just found these Flexi Clip Fans. That may be something I can use. Just wondering how much actual blowing power they have though, they look kind of shabby. I can get one real cheap on ebay too, I wouldn't spend 22$ on one of those.

that might work... with the computer fans, you could hang them with string to blow a few different ways maybe? AA batts can get expensive for something that has to run 24/7.

Oh wow. That looks like something perfect. Just gotta figure out a way to hang it, as I don't have any room to let it sit.

Drill some holes and zip tie it inside the cab. You just want to more the air around not draw in new air right?

Click to expand...

Correct. Just to move the air around so it doesn't stay to stagnant. If I zip tie it inside, would it still work, because it'll be pressed up against the cab, and no air will be coming in from behind it.

Zip tie the braces/legs maybe? You really dont have anything blocking it, air is going to go where its being pulled. Might not work at full capacity but I doubt it's being hindered enough to NOT make a difference.

I'm still a newb to this whole thing but, I think that's your fan.

This fan I found on ebay looks pretty good. Wonder how powerful it is though.

Looks cool but pricey for a little fan. I hate when that happens!

that floor fan is the smallest they come and those things usually put out a nice little breeze ur best bet is to zip tie it as it is adjustable but only up and down and it will recirculate the air inside no prob im going to actually b picking 1 of those up myself for a box i just built let us know how it works when u get it =)
