Constantly running fan...

I've been running a small desktop fan on my girl (1 crimea blue + 150w hps + LST) since her stem was strong enough to endure it. I leave the fan on 24/7 to keep the temps down but also because crimea seems to be a stretchy strain and I want to strengthen her up a bit.

So to my question; Is running the fan 24/7 detrimental to the plant's growth rate or any other factors? I haven't had any visible problems but I would rather be safe than sorry.

Thanks.

I have multiple fans running 24/7 in my room, been doing it for years.
The more that airs moving around, the happier the girls are IMO
 
i dont run 24/7 due to noise but wish i could......with the fan the stems are real thick and sturdy and most my plants dont even lean over when heavily budded ^^

Plug all your fans into one power strip, plug that power strip into a remote controlled outlet, put the remote somewhere easily accessible to you, so if company stops by unexpectedly or whatnot, it's easy to go instantly silent with the push of a button without entering the room.

Thanks for the help, I luckily have a massive heavy wooden door on the closet that I grow in and that thing could probably muffle the sound of a firecracker going off.

I like to think that my thick stems at this point are from all the MH light I've given my plant.. yea fans are a must

but I run an older, regular house fan inside the room, plus my little corner fan blowing air out. all 24/7 :tiphat:
