yes this is exactly what i want but i need to kwo the components of it, i want to maeka smaller version cause i have limited space and well i just don't need 14 plants for that matter want to make it around 4 plants if that, i saw in the FAQ section you had that yours had a fog system? am i correct? it's liek a drip and fog all in one but i need to knwo what type of fogger is in there and what size pump cause i'm sorta looking to make my own
An Aeroponic fogger / hydroponic fogger operates by oscillating at a frequency of approximately 2 MHZ which is two million vibrations per second. At this frequency, water is nebulized into a cold fog / dry fog which can support the needs of plants using an ultra low volume of water and nutrients.
A benefit of our Aeroponic fogger is that it generates extremely small micro droplets that averages only 4 microns, which is small enough to be absorbed by roots and leaves on contact, which is why it can be effective using only an ultra low volume of solution. In fact, most growers report optimal results with only half the concentration of nutrient solution they've used in the past!
An Ultrasonic fogger in action.
The latest and greatest in hydroponic technology from Nutramist!
These ultrasonic foggers are the ultimate aid to propagation and production as they can be used to create the perfect environment below "ground level" for plants to grow. This is the ultimate in hydroponic technology -- cutting edge stuff!! Amazing plant growth with these. These Aeroponic foggers offer the exclusive benefit of having Teflon coated ultrasonic transducers, specifically designed for use with dissolved nutrient solutions, so they help prevent salt buildup which causes premature failure.
Ultrasonic foggers will also sterilize your nutrient solution so adding live bacterial cultures will serve no purpose since the fogger is already sterilizing your solution for you.
The end result is your plant's roots are surrounded by a constant nutrient mist that the roots can easily absorb through tiny hairs that will develop. The mist is extremely oxygenated, and provides o2 and nutrients directly to your plants roots.
You will notice a significant increase in plant growth using this high-tech solution! Plants will grow larger and faster than with traditional hydroponics.
you can make a 1-5 hole res. from a rubbermaid tub. just get some 3in net pots and place them on top of the lid and trace the circle out and cut it with an utility knife. go to the fish aquarium store and get a large airstone/ with pump. go to lowes or home depot and get a submergable pump and get your hoses from there as well. now the thing is to try and find those drippers. good luck on that one there. and you can order your fogger for here. get some replacement disc for the fogger, they last for about 2-3 months.

thanks mobay, now you saw the fogger works with a limited or 1/2 the amount of soultion like the water or the nutrient you add, for example you added1 Table sppon for every gallon in a regualr system here you would only add about half a table spoon per gallon? Also is the pump for the fog submerged or does it float? the air stone is hooked on the pump you get from HD or is that seperate and powered by the aquarium pump? the HD pump is used to pump the drippers
Sorry it's so many questions i just wan tto get this all clear before i start to bild one then need help while i'm doign it, now with these 3" pots i can grow them until i harvest or only in a veg state, thn i move them to soil? Hoep you can answer these questions
Al the help you gave so far has been great!

o yeah what should a typical drip be set at for the 1st start of growth? adn at the end i guess it depends on the size of the plant?
1st two separate pumps. 1 for the air and 1 submergable pumps.
2nd i used the general hydrponics feeding chart on my last grow and followed the measurements.
3rd the fogger floats.
4th yes the HD pump is for the drippers.
5th yes you can grow all the way through with the 3 inch net pots, did you see the pics on my Big Bud grow , it was in the 3 inch pots.
6th i kept my drip on continiously , just dont let it drip right on the plants , aim it to the side of the plants.
hope that helped, if not holla.
this is my feeding chart. gro , micro, and bloom is all i used.

good stuf thanks again hopefully i can get somethign goign over the summer and start it up real soon. Just wondering when did you start to flower your ladies and what kind of light were you using? i have CFLs now but if i can i mean i can possibly get another type of light system, i'm stuck in the closet for now though and i mean heat woudl be a problem in there i'm thinking since i can't cut holes in the wood....any suggestions or do you think i can go with a few more lights and be good????
o yeah how far are the pots held above the water and howmany gallons should be put in to make it work effectivly?
i grew in my closet at one point , and what i did was cut a 4 inch hole in the ceiling which lead to the attic and ran a dryer hose up there and on the end of it was my 265cfm exhaust fan. and if you go hps i would get a air cooled hood so you would just hook the other end of the dryer hose to the hood and that will take all the heat out.
6 inches from the top of my res is were i set my water level. get your tub and mark off where 6 inches would be from the top and fill the res up , using gallon jugs so you will know how much nutes to add in per gallon.
i started to flower when they were 1 ft tall. hydro that is.
in soil i vegged for 1 week and threw her ass into flowering.
