im having a hell of a hard time finding oscillating fans for my grow boxes. everything local are huge stand fans that are way more than i can fit in my 4x4 or 2x2 boxes. when looking around amazon im not finding anything that seems viable aside from the vivosun fans that all the reviews say fall apart after a few weeks... so any suggestions? even just somewhere better than amazon to look :p im bout to pull my hair out, improving air flow to discourage these damn thrips from reproducing on my plants shouldnt be so difficult :p
 
Walmart has little metal blade USB fans, 4" and they are about $7. I've also tried some small 4" oscillating fans from Amazon, but they oscillate only when they want to...
 
I've got two of those Vivosun oscillating fans going in my tents with no problems. I've only had them six months, though. Clippy fans are one of those things that's good to have extras of just in case!

I'm having a little thrip invasion myself. I'm attacking with sticky traps and Lost Coast Plant Therapy.
 
Seriously, this time. Me and my buddy were talking about ventilation and circulation while dabbing a bunch of live resin. I did a quick google for 'small oscillating fans' and came up with quite a few.
 
yeah... but when i do that half of what show up dont actually oscillate they just call it oscillating because its adjustable >.> and the other half seem to be cheaply made junk by the reviews *shrug * why i was asking opinions of folks i can at least believe arnt shils :p
 
thats a better survival rate than most of the amazon reviews claimed lol no oil dripping out to be flung onto your plants? or any weird grinding noises out of the blue?
 
huh odd was hoping to find something like that at the local walmart and nada... ill have to check again in a few days, fans dont stay on the shelves long out here lol
 
Nope. They just cling to the pole and do their job. (Knock on wood.)

I have had a 4" Vivosun vent fan that died in spectacular fashion. Short-sighted design was to blame there.
 
Hurricane makes different sizes of wall mounted oscillating fans. They aren't super cheap. And there's always guaranteed returns, yeah? I like the clip-ons I have.
 
This one was at Walmart- $14. I have one in each tent as exhaust & the oscillating version in the flower tent. We also use one to circulate the air in the house.

I have also gotten great fans at the local thrift stores. Just take em apart & wipe em down w/ bleach water before you take em into your tents.
