Fog experiment.

I have to second that. It will not work. I posted a very in depth grow that someone did on another forum. It sounds like a great idea, the problem is as Loud said, there is not enough moisture getting to the roots of a large growing plant. (And we are talking in the Veg stage. Forget flower)

Fogging root systems will not work by itself. Save yourself the effort of a failed experiment. You might get away with combining the Fog and the misters that Filthy Fletch uses, but not fog all by itself.

Introducing the Nutramist™
The universal aeroponic fogging sytems that maximize yield, minimize maintenance, and reduce operating costs by providing plant roots with absolute Oxygenation and uptake capacity. Nutramist's multi-micron, cool, dry fog consistently drives the supercharged metabolism of any type of completely soluble nutrients and supplements.

The Nutramist
Eliminates the recycling of usurped nutrient solution and puts an end to plumbing, pH, PPM, and root pest problems.
Reduces the use of water and nutrients, eliminates the need for bulky growing mediums.
Compact system size makes for more efficient use of space in indoor gardens.
Exclusive three, five and ten-headed nebulizers provide for up to 10x the fog.
Exclusive six-step output control makes for easy management of all sized gardens.
Exclusive Teflon® nebulizers never cake-up, making cleaning a snap.
Automatically regulated nutrient-input enables gravity feeding from any reservoir.
Automatic low-water cut-off protects nebulizer from accidental damage.
Four foot flexible fog-ouput hose and garden-input fitting for quick retrofitting and easy to design custom systems.
These hydroponic foggers & aeroponic foggers are adaptable to many horticultural applications including root fogging, foliar feeding, growroom & greenhouse humidity generation even ultra low volume / ULV pesticide application. These ultrasonic foggers are the ultimate aid to propagation and production as they can be used to create the perfect environment below and above "ground level" for plants to grow.
Our aeroponic foggers offer the exclusive benefit of having teflon coated ultrasonic transducers, specifically designed for use with dissolved nutrient solutions, so they help prevent salt buildup which causes premature failure. This does not mean that our foggers will turn muddy water into mist however! You must NOT use with any nutrients or supplements which are not 100% water soluble and leave no visible residue or the fogger will not operate properly. Ultrasonic foggers will also sterilize your nutrient solution so adding live bacterial cultures will serve no purpose since the NUTRAMIST fogger is already sterilizing your solution for you.
The aeroponic fogger / hydroponic fogger operates by oscillating at a frequency of approximately 2 MHZ which is two million vibrations per second. At this frequency, water is nebulized into a cold fog / dry fog which can support the needs of plants using an ultra low volume / ULV of water and nutrients. Another benefit of our aeroponic fogger / hydroponic fogger is that it generates an extremely small droplet that averages only 4 microns which is small enough to be absorbed by roots and leaves on contact, which is why it can be effective using only an ultra low volume of solution. In fact, most growers report optimal results with only half the concentration of nutrient solution they've used in the past.
There is simply nothing else like it on the market specifically designed for horticultural applications

Maybe it works. I'm like you though, I would think you would need a hydrid dwc or something with it. Maybe it's only run a real low nutrient level and kind of like you said use the fogger as a supplement. This is bordering aero though IMO.
