The head has a long power cable... which you attach to the power transformer, then the transformer you plug into the wall.

Now I see your question about the water level:::
Well, thinking about it more, in your setup, you might, or might not have some water level under the roots.
SCENARIO A:::
You've got your tub, with your clones on top... and your fogger heads under the roots. So yeah, you have some water level under there, so the heads can produce the fog.
SCENARIO B:::
You've got your tub, with your clones on top... you've built a fog "chamber" in which fog will get produced, then pumped... in this setup, no, your roots wouldn't have water under them.
But yes, the heads need a certain level to work... if not, they fail... but the FutureGarden heads have an super cool automatic shut-off... you can see it in the pictures... you see the head? You see that it has kind of a black "bridge" on top of the chrome thing?
Well, that's the water level sensor. If the water level is under that "bridge", the fogger head doesn't turn ON.
Best,

See this is what I meant.
First you have the closed tub with the fog head in it. It then generates fog and that fog rises to the top of the closed canister. Above the water level is a little fan that is attached to a hose to push the fog into the grow area. The stem of the plant is sealed so no fog can escape from there. The remaining fog condenses or whatever and becomes water again at the bottom of the root chamber. The root chamber is tilted slightly to bring the water to a hose which takes that water and drains it into another reservoir or maybe even back into the fogger reservoir. For the tops of the plants I can just get a simple fogger from target or w/e to keep around the plants to raise humidity and cool the plants down. So what do you think?
Sorry about the half assed picture.

You see, if the fog can't escape out through the root chamber somewhere, the little PC fan won't be able to move the fog from the tub, to the root chamber...
Making any sense?
Yes, the fog actually does escape into the air... there are ways around it... but... ????
What do you think?

Ok, the kids over @ the lounge have taken over our server again, so I uploaded the pic, so you can look at it... I don't know if I'll be able to post this message Houston...
Anyways, I modified the setup slightly...
On the top part of the picture, you can see that I copy/pasted a part of your pic...
Well, that's my intended setup for drainage of (1) the condensed fog and (2) the extra fog.
I plan on sealing the plants against the tub, as you said.
But the extra fog exiting the root chamber, would be exiting through a drainage @ the bottom of the root chamber tub.
Then, the drainage of the condensed fog, will drain down through there too.
Again, haven't built this thing yet... but let's see how it goes...

Yea I understand. I probably would have though of that later but thanks!
I justt I'll jsut do what you did and put a humidity dome over the plants and just poke a few holes there in the lips and a few in the dome too. I think this is looking pretty good so far. Plus we can use latewoods cloning directly into hydroton method and see how that works too.

Also keep in mind latewood's third post. He uses something to prevent the wilting. I'm jsut going to go ahead and buy some Anti-Wilt when the time comes.

It's not really a brilliant idea on my end because I mostly copied the method that the full unit uses and just made it into something the average person can build.
I'll even make a guid with pics when I build it :P
