This is my next big experiment. I made my own fogger unit thats in the back of the photos. I have a pipe coming from that to the center of the tubs to fog all tubs evenly. The water chiller on the AC you see on the side has my fog intake connected to it from the back. This way I can keep my root temps below 70F or close to it. Like I said. Soil is too boring and simple compared to this. The temp readouts you see is the top one for canopy temp. Middles one is for root zone temp. And bottom one is for water temp along with PH and PPM. There you have it. I have more pics in a bit.

| Nice, I love foggers. How long have you been tinkering? Those plants look a little nutrient defficient, thats the one thing I cant seem to get done with foggers. Its like some of the nutes are dense enough particles that they arent suspended in the fog. This is what causes the salt buildups inside the fogger rez.

| nute problems before I put them in. And I seem to do ok with the nutes taken up by the fog. It worked great in my last grow with fog. I have been into fog over 4 years. And my fogger res is kinda like a toilette. I have water pouring into the top and and it flushes down the bottom. Im using house and garden vaan something or other. So far everything is good. The plants are at different heights because some are new clones and some are old clones that should of been planted long long ago. Thanks for the questions!

If there's salt buildup in the fogger rez, there's a problem that needs to be corrected. W/ a small fogger reservoir, the bubbling action should keep the nutes in suspension Nice looking roots BT. I suspect that the fog may be getting distributed over too large an area, but interested in how the grow turns out. | |||

I'm using these nutes too.. they say they're especially good with aero and such because of the drip clean product they have keeps everything from getting clogged up.

| BT, don't mean to be a downer, but I think you have a problem w/ the fogger. The plants should look much better. I don't think that's transplant shock. I normally only see a short stall of a day or two, if I'm too rough w/ the plants while transplanting. Usually I don't even get that. I do normally see a stall of about a week, while the roots are morphing into the fine feeders. After that the growth should be noticeably faster than other styles of growing. If the plants are "taking off" when the roots hit the nutrients, the fogger isn't supplying what the plants want/need. I still suspect the path length of your delivery lines is too long, and the volume of the containers may be too large.  | ||
