everytime i put a fan on my plants they droop and when i take it back off they are fine. i thought it would be the other way around. has anybody had this happen?
plants hate fans?

how big are they? your not directing a wind storm right at them right? really cant see that blowing the heat from the bulb may have an effect. any more info?

When you put a fan on your plants it ill dry the soil out quicker, maybe they were just thirsty..

Good point.
Heavy fan use also robs your plant of moisture through the fan leaves. Make sure your humidity is at 50% plus, otherwise lay off the fan.
Good luck, mang!

make the fan oscillate so it's not constantly hitting the same part of the plant all day everyday, otherwise you will get wind stress

sittinherebored - I would recommend you follow weedyoo's solution. It sounds fool-proof and very well thought out.

no you don't need a fan on them at any point,
having it on them improves stem strength and you can do this from day 1, you don't have to but its a lot better if you do,
consider the fan a set of weights for the plant, the fan actually creates minor damage to the plant, the stem cells grow back stronger, much like our musscles do when we hit the gym
