So do you guys think that using this will allow the plant to absorb the food better or will just regular foliar spraying with a sprayer work the same? I really wanna try this out tho
Partical size is related to absorbtion rate in some cases. If you are going to spend the money for a quality fogger then I think you would get more bang for you buck fogging the rootzone in a hydro setup. If you are just using foliar feeding to make up for deficiencies from time to time(which is the correct way to use it in most container growing)then the cost may not be justified.

And yucca extract found at your local health food store is yet another great organic wetting agent. Actually I think its pretty much the same as Wet Betty in an ugly dress. 70% yucca extract.

this doesn't seem like a good idea, fog machines work with only certain solutions.
if you wanna really spray your plants with whatever it may be spray it with one of these..............

Thats what I was referring to. Your spot on

@tjames. I do stock them in my store from time to time. Maybe if you drive to Lynden you could see one in person.

Better than a sprayer is debatable, but the whole point is that it can be automated so you dont have to do the work. Also you could reach a set humidity with it. and I think your idea for a dehumdifier and a humidifier is kinda cool, but Id skepticle about wasting energy, and there is such thing as too much foliar. Its a rad idea though. And i cant say ive tried it.

Not to be argumentative but your past reception doesn't exactly roll out the red carpet to me. I don't want to wind up as organic foliar material. But thanks for the info.
