Hey guys, I have been thinking alot about how i'm going to grow my next crop. I don't really want to do soil as it is messy, so i'm either set on hydro or aero. I will build whichever system i end up wanting to use so it will fit in my small space just right.
I've been inspired by a fog bucket i've seen at the hydro store and a recent purchase of an ultrasonic humidifier. I am thinking using something like the vicks cool mist or a similar ultrasonic humidifier as a mist source and put my nutrient solution in there and then run the humidifier on a timer putting all the mist into the root area. I had been thinking of using a plastic tub or a bucket or something similar and just put the humidifier in there.
I don't know about the optimum moisture level of the root area, would i want it to always be at maximum mist and just let it condense and collect at the bottom or would i want it running on a timer? Also could i start seeds in rockwool and net pots to use in this setup?
Any input would be greatly appreaciated, and i might just go get some supplies to start experimenting after the new year.
