Fans on 24/7 or just during light time?

do you guys run your fans 24/7 or do you cut them off when the light is off? if i have a fan circulating air inside the cab can i just run that 24/7 and run the exhaust fan only when the light is on?

Convection is important at all hours in the garden.

I would try one and the other to decide for myself.

I would say on 24/7

I run mine 24/7, humidity goes off the charts otherwise.
Extraction timer ( cheaap mechanical one) failed the other night and even with the muffin fan pushing the air around in the tent moisture was dripping down the walls the next morning.

id say the circulation fan is not so important at night, but removing stagnant air is something you will want to do. also running the exhaust fan during the night will help remove humidity or keep it steady. i run my circulation fan on the same timer as the light, and run the exhaust fan 24/7. on lower speeds during the night so the temps dont drop too much. hope that helps out a little bit.
 
def when lights are on, and def all the time as the buds get fat towards there last weeks as it wont stop mold if your air isnt right but it will slow it down some.

24/7...For strengthening them and to keep the air moving...As someone said above, humidity gets higher when the lights are off and you don't want any mold. YUCK! 24/7 and oscillating not just sitting in one position because that will suck moisture right out of their leaves.
