Should Fan be directly on sprouts?

My sprouts are about 1 1/2" tall, not sure where the position of the fan should be. Blowing directly on plants? I have the plants on a heating pad inside a mini greenhouse. The thermometer sitting on heating pad reads 77 degrees.

if the air is not beating your seedlings up to bad that should be good…it will help your stems get stronger

I can move to fan to hit them from top or side?

the fan shouldn’t be pointed at the babies, they could get damaged too easily, dry out too quickly.

best to have it aimed at a wall and the air bounce around that way, the sprouts should be vibrating from the air circulation.

@kabongster is right they will dry faster than their roots can support them with water I usually aim fan to hit plants indirectly so it barely even moves them once they get a bit bigger I oscillate fan so it hits them directly but not sustained
