What size room/tent are you growing in? I never force air in my grow rooms. Only use an exhaust and draw in air. You can actually do more damage with an intake depending on your setup. If its a tent, I'd recommend removing the intake fan or just use it as a circulation fan inside the tent.
Not sure where I said that LEDs were junk? I said I know nothing about them. Tone the testosterone down a little champ. We all here are In this together.
You wouldn't be struggling using metal halide! Isn't everyone saying the LEDs are not the way to go? I'd say put those things as close as possible! But then again I know nothing about LEDs. Good flashlights!
