I was going to add a small fogger to my resiorver for my grow speaker, will that mess up the hummidity or anything?

A fogger is definitely going to raise your humidity levels. What is the reason you are wanting to do this? to aerate your nutrient mixture? to increase humidity?

I'm not sure I recall your grow, but wasn't it the two plants in plastic cups in a speaker box? What is the reservoir for if you are growing in soil? (again, I'm not sure I recollect your grow)

no mines the 6 plant grow speaker hydroset, and i was going to leave the foggers on 24/7 submerged in my resiorver since ive seen some setups that involved that

FFT AKA Fog Feed Technique is by far the best way to grow. That is as long as it's dry air (smaller droplets than the fog in our atmosphere). It is the technique that will readily supply the most oxygen to the root mass. The things you drop in fountains to make a decorative fog is not true FFT, since the droplets are even bigger than what is in the atmosphere, and similar in effectiveness to spraying the roots. These are 20-60 micron, and true fog feed is 5-10 micron. The cheapest machine to do this that I've seen is about $280. And it will raise humidity not only in the root zone but the entire grow. That's fine because you are also foliar feeding with the same nutrients that way, but less concentrated than in the root zone which is perfect for leaves. I would think this would not be a good idea in a speaker grow, unless you also have mucho ventilationo.
