Found out the hard way that my greenhouse fan was killing my seedlings

Ran a small oscillating fan on high for 3 days straight and my tomato starts all got that white, papery look. Switched to a low-speed box fan set on a 15-minute timer cycle and they bounced back within a week. Anyone else fry young plants with too much airflow?

Honestly, low airflow can be just as bad, seems like a different issue.

Ugh, same thing happened to me! @the_laura gets it, low and slow is the secret.
