do u live some where really dry? i would only think u would need one of these if u live somewhere very dry and u have a hard time keeping humidity up.

i have one of these there excellent for using to make clones root you can got them on ebay quite cheap just look for - foggers they heat up in about 15 seconds and the fog /mist is cold only problem i had is the powerpacks are 24v an i broke mine (my fault) and cant find anywhere to get a new one
pm me if you want to know anythin els about them

The mist droplet size is too small to use once the roots actually start growing, and they have a short life span unless your water is zero TDS or very near so. Any salts cause a short life span with ultrasonic misters.

Well i live in a "soft water" area if that means anything to you? Yorkshire water. The cleanest in England for human consumption but not sure what bearing it will have on the fogger.

your fertilizer is made up of salts. those are good for running water only.

Whoa dude nor reason to get testy now. Just ststing a fact that foggers and hardwater mean a short fogger life span.

A fogger emits water vapor in a droplet size so small (5 micron and smaller) that it is not even considered a watering device by most growers. It is instead considered a device used to maintain a high humidity where needed, such as with seedlings and clones.

Plant root water up takes is optimalin aeroponics with a water droplet size of 50 microns. An ultra fogger's 5 micron mist is so small that it seldom even condenses on the plants roots at normal indoor plant growing temperatures but instead stays in the air until it condenses on a colder object. Coming from a foggy country I would assume you knew fog does not condense on objects when the temperature is warm but when it is chillier as the objects the fog contacts are cold than the air. Cold enough that the water condensce when the aic holding the fog is cooled by the colder object. So unless you want a slow grow in order to water your roots with a cold condensated water I would not suggest using a fogger for anything other than boosting humidity or a special effects toy if you like disco dancing in fog clouds. Perhaps for a home made horror video with a fog scene. Fog without the dangers of dry ice.

Was wondering if anybody has had any experience with this model? How quickly does it generate mist and would it be any good for a aeroponic set up??
:peace:
I have never seen a crop using foggers that actually went all the way to harvest. Come to think of it, I have never even seen anybody flowering a crop using a fogger. Must be that the growers who try this give up while still in the vegetative stage.
