Active Air 6" Clip Fan, 15W

Aim a Gentle Breeze Exactly Where Seedlings and Clones Need It

Seedling trays, clone racks, and propagation shelves rarely have room, or need, for a full-size circulation fan, but still air over young plants encourages weak stems and standing humidity around leaf surfaces. The Active Air 6" Clip Fan solves that at a smaller scale: a spring-loaded plastic clip grips onto a shelf, rack, or stand without marring the surface, and an adjustable head aims a gentle stream of air exactly where it's needed.

Durable plastic blades sit behind a removable safety grill for easy cleaning, and 2 speed settings on its compact 120V/15W motor keep airflow appropriate for delicate young growth.

Key Features & Benefits

• Spring-loaded plastic clip — grips shelves, racks, or stands without marring surfaces or requiring separate mounting hardware.
• Adjustable head — directs airflow at a precise angle instead of blowing in one fixed direction.
• Durable plastic blades — hold up to the daily cycling of a propagation area without the corrosion risk of metal blades.
• Removable safety grill — comes off for cleaning and goes back on to keep fingers and foliage clear of the blades.
• 2 speed settings — let you dial back airflow for the most delicate seedlings and step it up as plants establish.
• Compact 120V/15W design — draws a small, predictable amount of power, suited to running several units across a propagation area.

Who Should Use This Clip Fan

This fan fits growers running propagation trays, clone racks, or seedling shelves where a full-size wall or floor fan is oversized for the space or the plants. It's built for gentle, targeted airflow rather than whole-room circulation.

About Active Air

Clip fans round out the smaller end of Active Air's circulation equipment, a Hydrofarm-built lineup that also includes wall and floor fans, ducting, and filtration gear for indoor grow rooms. Compact accessories like this one are built for the propagation trays, clone racks, and tight spaces the brand's larger fans aren't sized for.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the clip attach without damaging shelving?

A spring-loaded plastic clip presses onto the edge of a shelf, rack, or stand and holds by tension rather than screws or adhesive. It comes off just as easily when it's time to reposition the fan.

Can I aim it at a specific tray or row?

Yes, the head adjusts independently of the clip mount, so it can be angled at a single tray, a row of clones, or a wider area as needed. That lets you reposition airflow without unclipping and remounting the whole fan.

Is it strong enough for a full grow room?

No, at 15W it's sized for propagation trays, clone racks, and seedling shelves rather than whole-room circulation. Pair it with a wall or floor fan for full-room airflow.

What is the safety grill for?

The removable grill keeps fingers and foliage clear of the spinning blades while still letting air pass through freely. It lifts off for periodic cleaning.

When should I run it on the lower speed setting?

Use the lower setting on very young seedlings or freshly cut clones, where too much direct airflow can stress delicate tissue or dry out cut ends. Step up to the higher setting once plants have rooted in and established sturdier stems.
