Grow Tent Air Circulation

Running a ScrOG and need advice of improving air circulation to prevent mould.

In a grow tent so space is rather limited.

I have 1 Secret Jardin Monkey fan and TBH it is a piece of shit. Very poor output only really covers 1 corner of the tent.

Looking for way more output.

I was going to buy another Monkey fan but after seeing this one on full power in a full ScrOG I would need another 3.

Any advice appreciated.

oscillating tower fan like one of those fancy fanless dyson units but a cheapy because it's going to get smashed 24/7 in a grow tent.

I have positive pressure inside my tent. My inline fan and carbon filter is on top of the tent. Air is sucked into the tent through my carbon filter. Insects or mold never makes it through the carbon. Since the tent is positive pressure mold or bugs do not go through vents or openings as air is always pushing out of the tent. Air blows down from top of tent onto plants which is good circulation inside tent. The carbon scrubs ambient air inside grow room so I have not had a bad odor problem. I know this method is reverse of what others do but I have not had a issue since setting my tents this way. I would post a pic that is in my forum album but have not been able for some reason. I also believe that positive pressure inside tent gives a higher percentage of CO2 though I have never tested it. I am growing Blue Dream right now beginning 7th week check out my buds. Growing this way works good. Food for thought good luck on your grow.

It'san air cooled hood I'm using, venting out.

Was looking for something for plenty air movement.

The clip of fan seem to be a waste of time.

I understand since I went to LED I don't have to worry about heat inside tent. My guess your only choice would be attach a fan to top of tent blowing down.

I put a pair of inexpensive box fans on their sides blowing up through the plants on the low setting. The stream of air going through the plants is wide enough to cool them completely while moving slow enough not to shred the leaves.
A vent at the very top takes the superheated air out. All the air around the plants is stirred.

I have several rooms, this is what worked in one of them, but not all of them.

I searched for that design on fans for my cupboard in the beginning but I wasn't searching the correct keywords.
