One of the Most Important Components: A Small Fan
A small fan is one of the key components for a functional grow box. No grow will make it to the end of the flowering phase without this small device. At Cannvisa, you’ll find the perfect grow fan for your indoor cultivation – whether you need a little extra power for a larger tent or a compact and stylish companion for your mini-grow setup.
Let’s be honest: Would you, as a nature enthusiast, enjoy being placed in a small box without even the slightest breeze now and then? Cannabis plants wouldn’t like it either. They love the wind – and for good reason. Whether you’re a hobbyist or a professional grower, it’s your priority to make your plants’ home as comfortable and “natural” as possible. And a grow fan does exactly that! While it doesn’t provide fresh air (that’s the job of the exhaust system), it helps circulate the existing air in the grow box consistently. This has a significant impact on:
The swirling air ensures that the newly introduced, oxygen-rich air is evenly distributed throughout the grow box. Every leaf gets fresh oxygen – not just the ones near the air intake. This allows the cannabis plant to maximize its photosynthesis processes and produce energy more efficiently. More energy means more growth and, most importantly, more buds.
Depending on the type of cannabis lighting you’ve installed in your grow box, your tent will produce some heat. Even energy-saving LED lights generate a minimal amount of thermal energy. A small grow fan can help distribute this heat evenly within the box, creating a more pleasant environment – no icy roots or overly hot shoots.
Many cannabis strains are highly susceptible to mold. Even mold-resistant strains carry a small risk. Like with oxygen and heat, a circulation fan helps distribute the humidity evenly throughout the grow room, preventing it from accumulating between the leaves and creating a welcoming environment for mold spores. Regardless, you should monitor humidity levels – our hygrometers can help with that.
A good grow fan should be perfectly matched to the size of your grow box. This means you shouldn’t use a 20-watt fan for a tent with 1 m² of growing space. Why not? Because too much wind can cause wind burn on your cannabis plants. Wind burn appears as brown spots on the leaves, indicating that excessive airflow is stressing the plant. This issue typically arises in indoor grows when leaves are subjected to constant “direct fire” from the fan. When purchasing your grow fan, opt for a slightly less powerful option and position it in the grow box so it doesn’t blow directly on the plants. For smaller tents, an oscillating clip fan, such as this one from Garden Highpro, is ideal.
