Something to chew on if it hasn't been thrown out already.

I remember around 2000 in Seattle, Washington, at the cannabis club, a Guru introduced me to aeroponics, with a statement

'Roots always clog my jets. Maybe you can do it better.'

if linking is prohibited I apologize in advance, and yes I should have looked at the FAQ and terms to see if it was accepted, but I'm old and lazy.

Hi Shadowpianoman. Depends entirely on the quality of the link .

Seriously though, interesting link. Never seen the ultrasound fogger thing before.

Oh great! Since you guys know everything there's really no reason for me to add!

Thanks, now I can spend my time elsewhere!

+1 on the old hat I got mine from one of those Asian pepole who sell those bamboo plants and water fountains those fountains that emit fog use them and those people usually sell them humidifiers cost me around $30 but since sold that setup but it worked great

farmergiles

I was being serious when I said I found the link interesting.

I enjoy doing gardening and after reading the post i felt it’s never too early to start thinking about next year’s growing season.

Shadowpianoman

hey farmergiles I'm staring at a halloween cauldron that fogs up.....I think I"m going to build one of these, just to see for myself. If you want I can take some pics and we can all see if it's a viable way to aero!

'puff puff pass to Giles'

Shadowpianoman

really? seems so simple a solution, what were your experiences with it, please?

Shadowpianoman

k gonna build a sealed box with one, since I gotta seal the box I think I might play around with some 02 enrichment at the roots, just to see if it does anything

hey Bobbito, heard you can get the ultrasonic fogger off of ebay for around $3

I"m lucky, mine just happens to have LED's that change color, so I'll have a groovy light show to go with the op (ha, yeah they'll get taped over, but I so could if I wanted too lol)

farmergiles

Wonder if you could use a bunch of them to run a bigger rig? Seems a lot easier than messing with pumps and stuff.

Pffft, huh huh, pass..

lol yea mine also had the leds mine was made for a fountain never used the $3 ones I paid $30 for mine uf its on e bay and that much cheaper I bet it comes from japan and there is a reason why they are cheap it will take a month to get to you and will probly work well till it burns down the house cause the wireing I notcied are allways lighter gauge and flimsy and cheap at least thats my experiance with cheap stuff from japan I bought on ebay. they work good though better then buying one of those 300 dollor foggers you see in the hydro mags/shops also wont put out as much fog also there is a disc shaped part in them that goes bad after a while and you will see it wont be putting out as much I nonlonger use mine it was cool to try but is an expensive route and in my older age I learned its better to keep things simple expecially when you will get the same result as a regular hydro set up also those little foggers dont cover much area with fog so unless you have a small garden you will need more than one also dont think you can just throw one in a container with a little water in it and just let it fog because thats not true aroponic system thats a hydro system you need to have a separate container as your res. that is conected to the garden and the fog over flows into the grow chamber so only fog is in there thats why the machines they sell in hydro store are so much they can fill rooms with fog dont get me wrong it can be donw with great results but its alot and the benifits aren't worth it people who do it just cause its cool or what not but still not that magical salution we are all waiting for and o2 is always a pluss to have around your roots expecially when there gonna sit in stagnant water but to put it in the areo system is kind of point less cause thats the point of ther aroponic system to let the root float in air or o2 and the water also is filled with 02 as it floats around in the chamber to roots hope this helps like I said its a cool setup but witha first grow no reson to complicate things further at least thats my point of view good luck and Grow!!!

Shadowpianoman

That was such an excellent post Blaze, ty, ty, and once again, ty. That info's a keeper, def.


and the circle gets bigger *puff......puff..... ..pass*

Bobbito Blaze

No prob glad to help

LetsBeCool

So I really want to do this but what nutrients should you use?

farmergiles

Any hydro nutes. Canna and General Hydroponics are well known but there are plenty more brands which will work well too.
Don't get suckered into buying loads of supplements you don't really need.
