Fogponics

llltimelll · Nov 17, 2009

anyone ever talk about fogponics anymore???? i am forced to go this route as money has determined that i cant afford a pump, misters, pvc, expensive timers, etc...i really enjoy the ideology of fogponics, bu, honestly, i dont want to be one of the first ppl doing it, as i dont have room and savings to fall back on if this doesnt go almost perfect..bu destiny has chosen us to be together, so follow.....i will lead.

unable to go with a high pressure true aeroponic grow, i have come to the conclusion that most arguments against fogponics are that the droplet size is so small that the fog jus stays suspended in the reservoir chamber, ineffectively saturating the root system.. i plan to remedy this problem by adding waterproof fans to circulate the fog throughout the reservoir.

i am, however, a little more curious about nutrient deliverance via a size 5-10 fog micron...if anyone can help?

so anyone have experience of thoughts about this.....???

Run it like 15 mins on and 15 mins off and that wil keep it. From saturating

The purpose of fog is to give the roots of the plants an environment with 100% humidity. It will not saturate the roots. The fog is a dry fog and doesn't provide enough water to saturate anything. The roots will absorb more water than the fog can put on them at any given time. The fogger should be on constantly mainly due to the time it takes to build up fog.

As far as your nutes. Your right to be concerned. In the beginning stages the fog works great. Root development is increase dramatically and the plants will love it. Later, the plant will require more nutes than the fog can provide alone. Thats easy to fix, DWC. You don't really need DWC but you'll need some nuted water in the bottom of whatever container you put them in and an air pump and stone to oxygenate the water.
