I broke down and put misters tn tonight and in a mater of hours the plants doubled in leaf size. I am pretty amazed. Regardless of the nutrients level the plants for sure have not been getting enough water. I think the problem lies in the size of the container I used. Tonight as I was installing the misters I noticed the fog wanting to settle on the bottom 3 inches above the water line. Now I could add another 20 gallons into the res or I can just get a smaller container. This would be more along the lines of the fogponic commercially available system with their shallow fog chamber. I also read that the misters should only be used in 15 on and then off. I think I will get a second timer for the misters as well. I can alternately cycle the misters and fog in a more shallow container and I will probably be spot on.

The only problem with using a second chamber is that I would need a way to move the fog around. Up till this point I have been using fans but I have had 3 burn out do to moisture build up. Unless I know for sure there is such a thing as a water proof fan, then I don't want to create a system that would use a fan. Besides I had fans blowing down and within the fog chamber already and still it doesn't help the fog stay were it needs too. A fanless system would be ideal I think.

I'm hoping the roots will be fine at the bottom of the res chamber. Since the nute level's will be pretty low, I hope the plants will be fine. Isn't this how the DWC method works anyway? I have seen pictures of a DWC/fog system and those plants were huge.
