Quick question

Which way should the air blow? Does it even matter? Is there a more energy efficient configuration that reduces fan load or there is no difference?

there are different kinds of fans and different uses for different kinds of fans

just do a search or go to the grow tutorials located under "site menu"

Make sure the fan is blowing out, if it blows in, the air builds up in the motor and it implodes and starts a black hole.


Do your homework.

Heres a joke :D

I just connected my new fan to the grow box ... and shut the panel door...

Suction from the fan... HOLDS the panel door to the grow box like glue (when the fan is on)!!!





ALSO!

While we are at it: can i leave the fan on 24/7????????????///

I want to keep it at 18/6 for the lights and 24/7 for the fan, its not gonna go bananas if i leave it like that? After all plants do need ventilation at night as well
 
It will turn the same way no matter how you hook it.Switching wire doest change direction on 120v.It does on 3 phase 440v but really dought if you have that.
