Let's be honest, no one is going to choose a grow bag, or a clip on fan. In fact I wouldn't claim the prize if it's either. An inline fan is the only prize it can be out of those if you want to claim any credibility here these days. I don't want you to think I'm being mean to you, but realistically that is the situation.

I am in the UK . I could really do with in inline fan . As my airflow at the moment is just passive.

Although I need a completely new set up as I had to cut my tent up in order to fit it into the shed.
I took the SON out yesterday and have the Led on as I'm having a few difficulties and no point wasting the electricity.
I have a few on the go at the moment. At various stages of veg and the soil is not very good so most of what was in there has amounted to next to nothing .

Sad looking but it's what I have to cope with at the moment .
It appears one of the Led sections/grids has stopped working.

I'm using the Xb penetrator that I gain from a side by side comparison a few years back.

It isn't all that , reasonable for the veg . That's about it tho .

I'm easy either way, however I can't flaw your logic.
There's pro's & con's to either of the fans . The Main Con is the noise and if the fans are fixed to the structure then there is Vibration as another Con.
Con with grow bag... You might not have room , or no saucer big enough to catch run off water.
However the Cons of not having fans , means you end up with tatty small grows like the ones I have.
I have Never owned an In-line fan and filter . I have had a load of fans and as most growers know . If not maintained, the fans stop working . My meager experience teaches me that clip on fans can be hung from string ( this reduces the vibration and noise a good percentage ) also canes , framework at a cost of having vibrations tho .
Making them versatile .
I've even had fan at intake and at the outlet ( 1 high and 1 low ) . It barely does the job does nothing for the smell 👃 tho.
So given a choice I would guess maybe a high 85-92% of indoor growers would logically/instinctively go for an In-line fan ... Me I could do with a complete brand spanking new set up , the works . With a nice medium for the roots ( this soil that is currently being used is crap , the roots just haven't the freedom).

This is from the Auto Amnesia I was running as part of the Seeds Mafia comp. The plants didn't really get a chance. I salvaged this much.

Digress ...
The Long and short of it . A fan&filter , good soil, lighting and the right amount of the right goodness at the right time and all will be fine .

Just for the record, my grows have no run off water, I grow in storage tubs without drainage. I don't use clip on fans, (bungie chord is the way to reduce vibration for those that do). I do need another inline fan for the tent my entry photo plant was grown in, as that was grown with passive airflow only. My soil is cheap, £3 for 25 litres, but I use the hesi line for nutrients.

got thoses , really hope for a good light !
It would be nice 😄 . However most importantly for me is Fan&Filter . I can work around my soil situation, I can even make it so bright in there I'd need sunglasses.
But I do need to draw that airflow through and filter it.
No real need for the grow bag to be frank. I could do with another clip on fan as I'm only using 2 pc fans around 2 inch² running at 12 volts 24 hrs . I had 6 at one time in my tent , strategically placed .
Any how good luck to you and I hope you're doing well :tiphat:

Passive airflow is all I've ever know . Bungee works for me too . I just tie string around them ( I have lots of string ... Only one bungee tho) hanging them on string suit me , even normal table type fans I hang . As my Autistic side doesn't like too much noise and vibrations do my nut in . But hey ho .
I shall keep my fingers crossed that you get that in-line fan . Should make you happy .
Good luck 🤞

Here’s my first garden!! I’m new to growing and committed to going fully organic, I am A bit over 8 weeks in and I’m in the USA. Thanks to @k15 for the “hand me down” equipment to get me started. I have been smoking for about 18 yrs to replace Ritalin, Concerta and Adderall which were prescribed to me by a doctor and had done its toll on me by high school. I am looking forward to learning more and can’t wait to see where this journey takes me. Thanks for looking ❤️ here’s a few photos of what I have been tending to.

You got a pink watering can pop . Is that Mrs Brunches :LOL: :tiphat:
No it’s definitely mine… once it’s absorbed into the grow space it’s non returnable.
It honestly makes it easier to water the peat free stuff more evenly…. Colour is optional if you’re buying, otherwise you takes what you gets 🤣

That's where no drainage holes comes in handy. I use the cravendale 2 litre milk bottles. Fill 4 up under a bath tap and it's one trip ( 2 in each hand) to dump 8 litres into a few tubs.
