FOG GENERATOR,,,Any Tips welcome thanks.
Fogging for clones and plants
I bought the units from drug store $6.00 each for the breathing machine and have a compresser set at 4 Lb. with 3 filters, on two plants and it looks like there doing well, well keep on playing with it, use hydroponic normal routine nutrient program. the fog comes in from the side and bottem of the tray, recycle right back into the unit. they will be going on 12/12 in the next few days.
Intresting!!!
I have seen fog grows before and they have done great. I'll see if I can find the link to a fog system built for growing. keep a good thread going that may be the next big thing in growing.
YEs, I saw one of these systems at a hydro show.. and I saw one at a hydro store..
can you post some good pics..?
: )
fog growing huh? sounds cool...please post some pics. isnt this the same as an aeroponic mist? is the fog confined to the root zone? :confused: :confused:
Here are a few links you may find intresting.

very cool!!
I am a new grower. I got brown spots on the leaves of seedlings with the fogger. I used a rubbermaid container with 1/2" hose to pipe the mist from the humidifier to the root zone. My plants are seedlings. I adjusted my ph, used r/o water and am using GH 3 part nutrients. I used net pots and clay pellets. I bought a ultrasonic humidifier from Walmart ($30). I ran the humidifier only during the day.
Zandor, you are a great wizard. Thank you for all your help.
Gen you are welcome. You should try your fogger system with no rocks. Make some plugs or get them from eBay and grow with no medium. Use a 2" net pot with just a plug or no net pot at all.
Zandor, what kind of plugs should I use? Does the fogger also evaporate the nutrients?
I am also interested in the bakearound glass bowls for the lights. I could not find any
such creature on ebay.
Thanks
Yeah when using ultrasonic fogger it'll vibrate at such a high rate that it'll basically kickup all the nutrient solutions so it mists the roots and allows for absolutely optimal root and plant growth. The problem with the 360 degree microsprayers is it doesn't do as good of a job of nutrient distribution and requires more effort to construct. With fog its just a simple drop in turn on smoke up.
