Hello Joefarmer,

This is a SOG setup, and the trays are going to be used for flowering only. What veg times they get, they get in the clonner. Depending on strain, they will be in the clonner abt a week from showing roots. In the clonner they are just in the neoprene collars, transplant consists of putting collars into the net pots so they can't stay too long or the roots become a pain to get into the net pots.

I have built smaller setups that grow from cutting to finish in the same tray, which is fine for hobbyists' or personal grows, but to do production runs it is more efficent to clone cuttings seperately.

I use the term "dry fog" for the ultrasonic fogger because that's how it feels. You can put your hand in front of the output and your hand stays dry because the fog particules are so small. It has been shown that particules 5 microns or less are directly available to the roots' pores. By contrast if you put your hand near one of the mister nozzles it will feel and be wet, since the majority of it's fog particles are larger then 5 micron. This is really the difference between fogponics and aeroponics and why I consider this an aero/fog unit.
