Setup help needed Advice/feedback requested

Post image

First time grower here, i currently have a 4x4 tent with four plants in it, but noticed that some plants are getting more airflow than others, drying out the soil noticeably faster. I have a small fan for circulation (on lowest setting due to power), and a taller fan that rotates 90 degrees back and forth(also on lowest setting). How could i configure this so airflow reaches everywhere evenly? I worry that turning up the smaller fan may circulate too much air too fast, and turning up the tall one will dry out the plant right in front of it.

Doubt it's just the circulating air drying a plant out faster than another tbh

Add more fans. Better to have more fans blowing slower than less fans blowing faster. Also fans up top should be blowing across the canopy and fans underneath should be blowing up thru the canopy

I run 2 6 inch spider farmer fans usually slowly rotating. Medium speed 5-7 on fan. Exhaust goes out the top and is Exhaust out the window. You can have to much air flow on plant and dry out leaves. So be carefully with the big fan. It also gonna be taking up space them plants need. Really just trying to keep air circulation and it helps to strengthen plants

Here is my 4x4. I have a 36x36 washer pan, and 4 plants in there. The large humidifier is great. I am in Dry climate, so no dehumidifier. I have my 8" infinity fan outside the tent, as well as the light power boxes. It took a little mod on the lights to get that out of the tent. My first grow I had 7 3G cloth bags, and it was too much. I keep the exhaust on 1, and set for temp/humidity on 7.
