Hello everyone this is a small basic tutorial on my fogponics vegetative/flowering device. First of all a little about me, I have no idea what I am doing. I have not grown pot nor tended to anything that could not fend for itself on some level since I used to water my Dad's hidden pot plants when he was "away" read county lockup when I was five or so. I am posting this tutorial for one of two reasons.
1. IT FAILS :holysheep: and while I have sacrificed the required number of bulls you never know it that might not be enough by todays standards. If this doesn't work then do exactly what I didn't do and it should work fine.
2. IT WORKS Then I will know that sometimes blind luck will outdo over reading, over analyzing, and overkilling every once in a while :hubba:. If this insane experiment works then do as I did and you will
Materials needed (or not depending on the outcome)
2x Tough Box 27 gallon containers
1x Mist Maker DK3-24 ultrasonic atomizer and bouy
1x tube 100% Silicon
6x 3.5" netpots
Tools needed
A cutting tool for netpot holes and cable hole (I used Dremel tool with cutting disk and 80 grit sand paper cylinder)
something to spread silicon (((I used cardboard)is that even a tool? I guess in a basic kinda look that monkey uses a stick to get termites kinda way)can you tell I code sometimes )
I know you must be thinking MY GODS thats not much of a parts or tools list, you don't know the half of it. For those of you that are smarter than an average bear you could prob build it without any further instructions (see why I think it might fail). For the rest of us and lets all be honest we COULD be rocket scientists if we didn't smoke so much , here is a step by step with pics.
I really like these tough boxes, for this purpose. If you take both lids off, you can place the open ends together and (like we are doing) and they lock together securely.
OK,if you have to do this in the quickest way possible like I did (clones were sitting on a table in rockwool). Then this is the best possible order that I could think of. Cut a small bit of the rim to make way for the cable of the atomizer.
OK, take your "tool" and spread a layer of silicon around the rim of the bottom tough box (the one you just cut) and once you have a decent seal set aside and let dry.
Ok, now for the only part of this that could actually be considered "difficult" at least while stoned.
Cutting the holes, not rocket science but took longer than I wanted it to. Those ridges don't make it easy, but the blocked area of the netpots keep it from being a problem. I just used a cutting disk with my dremel to get the rough shape, then used the sanding tubes to clean them up.
**STONER NOTE** make sure you dont cut the hole to big for your netpot I almost did.
See Mom I can finish what I start.
OK, the hard part is over (Thank the Gods). Now just take your Atomizer
Put it in your buoy
And it should look something like this.
Place it in your now dry silicon layered bottom along with 10 gallons or so of water and nutes. Plug in and LET THERE BE FOG!
Now, just place the other tub on top add your netpots, plants, and media and you are ready to go.
Again, I am not sure this is going to work. I will start a grow journal (look for link in signature). Even if you don't want to post please take the poll so I can start setting the Vegas odds.
