An irrigation or mist timer is more important than a fan ...

I use a 1 gal pump weed sprayer, I just give them a shot when I get off work.....Light Mist, I
know its in your home. I set mine up in my garage(heated). But I would Think you would
be able to hit them 3 or 4 times a week without a problem. Last year I had mine by the back
french doors....No lights ...but they were small and I used a spray bottle, I am still on board
with the fan thing just to keep them sturdy. Hell I dont Know makin it up as I go along
with Help from bananas.org. I did my time in Mt. Prospect . We had a hard time
growing a garden up there. Your Plants look Great.

This pic is from my gallery taken last April
Before you bring your plants in line them up and do a soil drench and spray them for a couple of days.......then bring them in.
I use Bayer Complete Soil and Insect killer.......no smell with good results.

Photo taken a few days ago.
I also use it on all my tropical ferns and I have sprayed my tomatoes for whitefly all with good results. It is one of a few insecticides that will not kill a fern.
This is a pic after being sprayed ready to come in.
I will grow these under one 23 watt daylight 6500k spiral from Walmart.
