the great thing about foggers is the fact that they break down water molecules into microns, which are small enough to readily penetrate roots through osmosis. Also, you can use 10% of the normal amount of nutrients. THe biggest problem people have is putting their fogger directly into their buckets. this warms up the water too much . you have to have a small seperate box with nute solution hooked up to a fan / ducting so that the mist is blown into your grow chamber, but the water is not heating up your system. if it heats up, your roots will get no o2 and die.

groprofosho i had a fogger in may airaponic system,but im going with the waterfarm 8 pack. is there a way I can use a fogger in it ?

Well you fogger guys can try to modify and do whatever.
It Does Not Work for Weed.
It does not help any other system,
that already works without fogg.
So why even bother?
Show me,
or stop trying to convince noobs that it works.
Because it does not.
Fogg is a total waste of time and money.
I know, 'cause I already spent the time, and the money.

fog is good for rooting clones and thats about it, 100% agree with Earl.
Disk crusts up and even with cleaning disapates after a few months to a non fogging crusty thing.
Was cool at halloween though in my front pond LOL

In our Dominaero propagation unit (http://www.fogponics.com/) we use teflon-coated ceramic discs for replacements as they last longer and don't collect deposits as easily.

Instead of using just fog why dont you use fog AND hydro, DWC , or well any other kind or growing method.
hell even using it for soil growing has its benifits. you can better foliar feed them(like you know spraying the leaves).
well since no one really has a good post on fogponic grows then ill have to post a grow.

The ultrasonic process involved to create the fog also creates heat as these disks are basicly vibrating at a high freq causing the fog. Reguardless of what the disks are coated in there is nutrient filled water evaporating on the disks eventually leading to clogging.
If there were a disk that didnt clog your still faced with the problem of equal delevery of fog through lots of roots. A big multi head fogger will also be heat added to the water supply requiring a recycling timer to the mix.
Net pots in a sealed plastic tote with an airstone/airpump left on all the time will cost you less money for better results. I have seen complete grows done that way.
A fogger system no matter well how its built or designed is going to require the same if not more money to set up. Your going to need the fogger, a recycle timer, and in some set ups a water pump to feed the fogger and so on. Drop the $30 to $200+ you pay for the fogger and get a bigger water pump, tubeing, gromets and sprayers and in my opinion your better off. Your going to be buying pretty much the same stuff for a fogger build as you would in an areo build like EARLS. With the exception of the fogger of course. Its just an added thing to waste money on and wont benifit an already working system and has yet to prove its self if ever for complete growth.
I have also looked for a finished fogger grow to no avail and have seen countless finished grows done with aero, bubble, NTF, drip, and ebb and flow systems.
Sure useing such a system to root clones I hear of success. I however have had much success rooting cuttings in a net pot and neoprene insert in the very same system I will be flowering it in so why spend the money
If your thinking you know better and fog will work for weed I welcome anyone to put up or shut up by posting photos of killer buds growing with just a fogger or go blow your bank account trying if that makes you happy.

Ive been using a fogger in my cloner...it runs off of the pump timer, 15on/45off. For 5months now, i cleaned it once. Heats my res up 1*C. It was either 20bux for a heater, or a fogger. I have 100% success now, using Rockwool or NO media. Nubs start at 7 days, 20 days ready for transplant. I wouldnt use it for flowering, i dunno its kinda of a little bitch, if its not the exact depth it fogs poorly.

Find a video of one with weed about to be harvested and it would be more impressive. I have yet to see a finished crop from any fogger system. People seem to start with them and make a journal then they all poof/dissapear/stop posting before the harvest.
how are the foggers for areo/bubbler? can it totally replace the sprayers/pump?
how many would be needed for a 45gal tub?

I know of folks that will buy one of those $20 foggers and toss them inside a tote with a bubbler to start clones but I am just not sure a fogger can support a plant through its entire growth cycle or atleast I have been yet to hear or see it.

It looks like in the video I posted this cat still has water running thru his system as well. I think the fog is just sitting on top of the water down the length of the pipe is all.
At least that's what I got from it.

ok you must spend money on foggers, like the nutramist ones(just the fogger), the twenty dollar ones clog up.
also use water soluble nutrients or they will clog up, and you also must clean the fogger heads or theyll clog up, but you'll get a really nice yield i bet you.

It works great as a supplement. You need to run them on a cycle timer so they don't overheat. 1 on 5 off.

Your "Proof" is a video of a hydro system thats basicly feeding the plants 3 differant ways. Remove that fogger from that system in the video and you still have great weed. Remove everything but a fogger and watch what happens.
