So i was thinking of starting a fogponics system. but im not sure on exactly what to do...
i was thinking of either getting a separate container for the fogger and splitting it to two 5 gal. buckets with those 5 gal. tops on it, or just putting it into a bigger rubbermaid roughneck and cutting some 8 in. netcups but im not sure if i need a medium...

or if i should do a fog/hydro.

idk help me! plz
also im not sure if i posted this in the right place...:wall:
help??:bigjoint::leaf:

i had an idea basicly aero ponics but im not exactly sure if it will work... kay 1st if you dont understand wat i mean i would be happy to explane it to u i know i suk at spellin and i speak wit slang unknowingly but any way ... take a small container like the aluminum ones around small candles and put a small hole in the bottom and fill it wit soil. If im not mistaken the roots would grow through the hole. then you take a rubbermaid rectangle container wit a lid or wat ever they are (im asuming u know what i mean) and put equal size holes in the lid and put the small containers wit the plant seeds in it on the lid and line up the holes so the roots fall through and inside the container have a humidifier


now for the record im really new to this growin thing im doing my research 1st i just got that idea last night if any one has any constructive critizism let me know

the ultrasonic foggers do not fog the nutes. salts stay in the water, and only distilled h2o is vaporized. good for a cloner, useless for a real grow.

hope this helps, and i'm not trying to be a downer.... just trying to help.

and you wouldnt want to use aluminum. youd want to buy rapid rooter plugs or something.

Inly problem is when the roots get big and full the fog dosnt penetrate all threw the stems. On larger grows id dosnt seem to work real well

I was reading in High Times and they were showing a vertical grow that was aeroponics and they used fogoponics as a supplement

thank you, i need more input like that. or at least tell me why it wont.(ill still give it a shot)none of this it wont work crap.
everyone jsut uses crappy walmart foggers that dont work for growing.
the web site showed a ebb and flow table with a fogger as the main and they flooded the chamber for the bigger roots.

i think u gotta mix it up if u want 2 use a fogger

i culd be wrong but im not sure teh fogger will get the rite concentration of nutes in the air
teh best fogger growers ive seen all use fogger plus somethin else like NFT or DWC

thatd b my advice
