What do you think of my artistic rendition? LOL At any rate, I tried to draft something up that I think would work in my space. I may or may not attempt to divide the grow space into two sections in an effort to have two separate environments. I might have to stick with my first plan which was to grow start to finish each batch instead of trying to cycle them. The only reason I am trying to cycle at this point is because I lucked into a bunch of seeds last night but I already have viable vegetative plants. I would rather not slow my current ones down so that the new seeds can catch up. I might just stick some cfls on them or something to keep the new seeds alive but nothing more. If I do separate the room then i will have to run a split vent shaft as I cant think of a way to let in air but not light unless it's coming from below and nearly under the growing container. I can install vents in the bottom of the shelf to allow air to rise up under the container and through the space. I could conceive a way to divide the room if I had too.

By raising the table up I can put 2 x 5 gallon containers under the table and have a fog to waste system. One bucket will draw fresh water while the other can be the dump. This would make life so much easier when changing water and I don't have to maintain a 20 to 25 gallon res any longer either. I'm fairly convinced that their wont be enough waste water to cause me concern. I'm already mixing and dumping around 20 gallons each week and I have a recirculating system. I believe I know how to find one of those muffin fans that I have been hearing about. I might have to order it but at least I know it's built for fog and can use that to push the fog up the bucket, down a pipe and into the grow chamber.

Somewhere in my travels I recently saw a fairly flat shallow container that wasn't a tote with curved sides on the inside. I think it would fit my space if I could get a lid for it. It might be available at the hydro store. I can attach my misters to the outside of that but I think I would rather try something else instead, if it's possible.

Question time: can I pump in aero mist in the neighborhood of 50 microns with the same fan I'm using for fog? What I am wondering is whether I can generate the mist in the same bucket as the fog and then pipe it in using the same system I am using for fog. ORRRR do I have to create the mist right where it's needed which is closer to the grow chamber. I just don't know how heavy the droplets are and how far they can travel. I think it would be easier to blow in the wet and dry using the same method as opposed to running plumbing to the chamber for the misters to connect on side.
Prodaytrader Reviewed by Prodaytrader on . What now??? A few weeks back I built a pure fog system. Plz no suggestions about switching to a new method. I have my reasons for doing fog. At any rate, about 4 days ago I dialed in the system and was getting really good growth and nice green leaves. 3 days ago I decided that the water was too dirty and that I should probably lower the ppm's in the water anyway, so I changed it out. I believe I took too long on the water change which was probably in the neighborhood of an hour. I wasn't careful Rating: 5
