Reviving this discussion does present an opportunity to quiz oldmac or others who can point me in the right direction though.

Oldmac posted on page one:
The proposed schedule is Frapa fogger 10 mins on (@10min after the hour and 1/2 hr) every 30 mins. 24 hrs a day, don't want roots to dry out during dark period, even if they are not feeding.
Mister nozzles 3-5 seconds every half hour(on the hour and 1/2 hr) on photocell=only when lights are on. Photocell in cycle timer syncs with other timer, when lights come on.

So for example start at 7:00pm lights come on, first event is mister pump for 3-5sec. !0 mins later Frapa starts, runs 10mins and stops. 7:30 mister pump, 10 mins later etc etc.


OM?.this newb needs a little more explanation on the reasoning behind the timing of foggers and misters (or in my case??fogger and bubbler). In my uneducated imagination I thought that the fogger would be running all the time. However timed cycles with help with controlling heat generated by the fogger. (RH can be pretty low here). The fogger that I??ve chosen is a little one disc cheapo?.but the fog feels awful dry to me (don??t know if that makes it 5 micron or not)

Also from another thread that you??re involved in: What ratio of fogging to bubbling would you imagine to be appropriate to avoid the acclimation time when I move my clones down the line to the pre-veg bubbler. I would like to begin with a plan in mind. Beyond that all I can do is watch the root development and hope that I guess right from there.

Accepting all opinions,
