I don't care if you are growing cabbage or fogponic weed, Let this video help answer any questions you might have about gardening with a ultrasonic fogger. Combining fogponics with your hydroponic setup is a great way to create a quick fogponic dwc or kratky setup. I will also cover the fully aeroponic moving air style fogponic garden.

One method I'm planning on playing with is multi-source foggers. Basically, have multiple kratky ponds, thermally separated, so that you turn off one fogger once its 15 minutes are up, and turn on another that takes over while the other cools down. Needs fancier timing electronics and you're paying for more foggers, but it a) allows you to keep fog in motion for a greater percentage of time, but b) and here's the important part, if one fogger fails, you have redundancy from the ones that are still operational and you're less likely to have a nutrient build up at 5 am kill everything before you wake up.
I'm going to try this, for sure. Keep an eye out for the video! That's a great way to do a fogponic setup if you're serious about seeing something grow.
Yes. 15 minutes ON and 15 minutes OFF will keep temperature normal. Also, two (or more) units will give peace of mind.
I have developed one system, wirking, but seeds some didn't germinate. I think its due to continuous (over humid) and the water get hot. For tower garden I think fogponics better.
Goid work
Thanks
Nice vid! Took note of the 15 min per hour. I was running 1 fogger per tote and 4 totes with 25 gal capacity about 50% full. Running the fogger 30m on 45m off and my water temps were very high.
My totes also have a large air diffuser running to help with o2 getting to the roots

Aw This comment made my day. Thank you so much! 🥰
I came across this video thinking about fog and roots's plant.
same thought for using an ultrasonic fogger.
from your experience i started to think also a more effective way to circulate fog and oxygen to maintain the ideal temperature.
the closing part of your explanation, very useful..
thank you bro..
Excellent content! Do you think a knockout pot or nucleation/agglomeration site of some kind would work to create a circulating fog system so that it doesn't become a waste system? Maybe using HEPA filter material?
Neat!
Air pumps can also heat up water as well as ultrasonic fogggers.. What I do to solve the problem is to have multiple foggers which go off at different timing so that the other can cool down before they get activated again. Same for any kind of mechanical equipment like water pumps... if you are running equipment that creates unwanted heat in air or water, they use multiple pieces and cycle them or mount them externally like using a brushless water pump mounted outside the tank.
Have you also considered pushing into the system thru a Venturi type of system for 45 minutes then escape that air in 15 minutes using 2 different fans that used within the Venturi system?
You can do moving air without an escape point for the air flow, but you need to use an inline fan that can handle being in an effectively 100% RH environment for its operating life. That's usually done by keeping the motor out of the air flow, so a lot easier to find a good fit in a larger system with larger diameter piping. Either a squirrel cage or tangential style fan/blower would be great if you can find one small enough.
You note the reliability aspect of bubbleponics, and that is exactly why I've been playing with hybrid RDWC and fogponics. I keep the water level for the DWC aspect at roughly half of the grow chamber's depth and feed fog straight from the RDWC feed tank. You can use the same line for the fog supply that is used as the overflow for the recirculating aspect, and as the water feed with some reducer bushings that have the stops bored out so you can pass a whole pipe through.. You can get the amazing root quality of aeroponics and once they grow long enough, the growth potential of DWC. If the fogger dies, you have the RDWC aspect to keep it going. If the power dies entirely, you have the half chamber depth water reservoir to keep the roots from drying out.
This is brilliant! thank you for the ideas.
Can I just put nutrients in my humidifier and connect tubes to it directed to the rootzone? It already shoots the fog out of it with great pressure and has multiple spoits in different directions that I could attatch tubes to
When I discovered these foggers I thought about trying this
Great video. If you do the two chamber without venting. use a Venturi pump you can do it without venting the fog.
Awesome advice! I am currently re engineering a moving air fogponics system with a venturi pump for growing tubers. Couldn't do it without this little piece of helpful information, thank you greatly!
@@humblegrowth no problem, I appreciated your videos on this topic as well. I am currently designing a vertical grow tower for a fogponics moving air system that is stackable and modular so you could use the same system for aeroponics as well.
How , do you mesure you're fog density? I'll have to cruise you're channel.
Why only for clones? Can't you grow a big tomato plant like this?
the mist just go out into the room?
Some of if, yes! Built in humidifier 😆 we are in Colorado so the extra humidity is a plus for us. In other climates small changes could be made to lessen the moisture escaping
I've been experimenting with moving air style for like a year. Separate reservoir with fogger, air stone and pump. So air moves through the fogger water to help keep it cool. Separate fog pipes to multiple plant containers.
Ultimately, the reliability of the fogger transducer is poor, requires extra electricity, and cost. It just doesn't seem worth it. For fruiting and flowering plants it doesn't seem like it really provided the amount of nutrients the plants can use. Maybe there's a system that would, but unclear if there's a benefit to finding it. Like, it would need to grow twice as fast dwc or something.
Long way of saying I agree with the dwc comment in the video.
I totally agree with your comment, and you are the 3rd person to recommend a multiple bucket system for moving air setup. So I guess I'll give it a try lol Thank you! :)
bubble? do you mean DWC?
Bubbleponics is like a DWC but with a drip system, so yes similar!
Those foggers on Amazon get some pretty negative reviews. I think reliability could be a problem here. What have you found in this regard?
terribly unpredictable and fragile. The one I have bought many times comes with 3 replacement ceramic discs. But even still, if it dies and you aren't there to replace it, you're out of luck. Hope this helps. (Aeroponics is better)
Look at what they use for mushroom growing , for example house of hydro misters
Looks interesting, thanks.
@@Sssanbo
In my opinion:
Aeroponic > Hydroponic (Bubbles) > Fogponic > Soil
I would agree completely, as far as success rates and harvest size.
