Yes some is good, to simulate natural wind, and keep it cool. But to much will stress them, esp if there young. I always keep mine where i have to try and see if the leaves are moving. when they get older and can support more wind, then give them a little more,
In this case, a little less is better that a little more.

Well depending on where you are pulling your intake from you want the stronger fan exhausting but not by much. I for one have plans to intake from my kitchen farnace vent duct as a dummy for fresh climate controled air so I dont want any odors escaping into the kitchen. So to create vaccum and air flow exhaust>intake=happy...ha
but at the lowest setting and 3 feet from my ladies it works just fine. (it is sucking the dehumdifiers exhaust (75 degrees F)out to the plants also heating the room at the same time. my plants actually shake from the breeze. It keeps the bugs to a minimum (MG soil is infested with Gnats) and it strengthens stems too.
the plant shots were taken at day 30 and day 39 of flowering

I used MG plant booster plus during vegging at 24-8-16, right now they're on 'Schultz liquid plant food booster' at 10-15-10 with a cheap-ass c02 setup (sugar and yeast) and molasses ( 1 tblspn/ gallon of water) every third watering. the molasses increases the 'dankness' of the bud. all that under 6 40w COOL WHITE tubed flourescents in 3 light fixtures in an unheated basement during the winter (I have a dehumdifiers exhaust running thru my fan that heats the room to a balmy 75 degrees F) and dries it too.
