I have two Fans circulating heat.

I just noticed where I'm going to start my Seedlings one fan is going to almost be blowing right on them.

Will it hurt or try to move the fan?

If it is an oscillating fan leave it. If not move the fan. With a steady stiff breeze blowing on them it will give the plant a permanent bend. Or you can change the position of the plant every day. An oscillating fan actually strengthens a plant but all seedlings need a fan to help deter fungal problems.

Well it is an oscillating fan but I just have it blowing straight on.

I'm saying Seedlings but also starting. I'll have Heat Pad and Light.

I can move the fan where won't blow on them.

Young seedlings need air circulation. Just turn the oscillation on
