Under canopy airflow

Doing larger plants on the floor and looking to increase a nice even distribution of conditioned environment throughout the canopy. Room is sealed, co2 enriched, plants are about 4' tall on average and real nice and bushy. Have plenty of wall fans, looking to keep things moving elsewhere.

I have an 8" recirculating through a filter, was thinking of splitting that into 2 6" pieces of ducting and running them along the floor, they would have to run for a ways and then double back so really a pretty decent amount of ducting to cover it. Was gonna punch holes in the ducting and then seal up the ends.

I'm not positive this will give me as much as I am looking for but it will be better.

The simplest thing would be floor fans between the rows. The only problem I have with this is the fans are $20 a piece at the least and they seem to break super regularly. I almost never get much time out of them. Was looking at the 6" clip on fans but they too are around $20 and I have no reason to think they would last any longer.

Open to any airflow tips, currently I have my wall fans set up so they barely touch the canopy, mostly just moving the hot air from between the lamps and the canopy.

Just hang wall fans under the canopy... keeps it off the floor. It's good to disturb the canopy, it stops spores from settling and breaks up pockets of oxygen that form under the leaf surface.
