I use the same one vag puncher uses for foliar but when I had a commercial area and had concrete floors etc I used a fogger like jacks talking about to saturate the entire room/ plants/ everything. I believe it was a nutramist and cost about $450 but worth every penny. If I can find a link I'll post it up.
 
Yea vag's link is the one I was thinking of, but I figured with Jack's bigger rooms there's got to be something better for that size. I am still doing it old school with my backpack sprayer let me tell you it takes a long f*#%ing time to cover 50+ lights! Thank god for workers.. :dance013:

I was also wondering about the covage with a fogger - the reason I have stuck to my backpack all these years is because I KNOW the leaves are getting fully saturated with the spray whereas with a fogger I was always worried about incomplete coverage.

Anyone else have experience with fogger foliar devices? Any opinions about coverage? Pros v Cons?

You guys are fucking ridiculous. You're telling me to not ask questions, and to slow my role.

Why are you on IC?

Is this your thread?

Do you call the shots?

Didn't think so.

If Jack the Genie is bothered by my questions, Let him speak.

:thank you:
Bro chill out and I will share what I have learned if I dont answer every single question you have asked in a timely matter there is no need to ask over and over. No need to argue with other people on here either. I dont need to feel pressured in my own thread.
 
Wow. I never asked 'over and over'.. and I never demanded a timely response. It's these other idiots that keep putting their two cents in when it's unwarranted. Keep doing your thing and I will do mine. No more questions. Sorry if I 'pressured' you Jack, was never my intention.

Cheers.

To those using foggers for foliar indoors: do you take precaution to avoid hoods/bulbs from getting coated? or wipe down after fog?
thanks for insights! and thanks for your time Jack, always an inspiration.

Cap i tried to pm you but it says your pm box is full?

Hey brother my inbox has been empty for a couple weeks now. :tumbleweed: Drop me a line when you have a moment. I can't respond due to lack of posts at ICMAG, but you can get at me at that other place as well if you want.

Keep on being inspirational. I just picked up the aptus line to try it with jr peters base nutes.

Yup.

Need 1 L from each bottle per grow, so it works out to 5 grows.

Add 400 for base nutes and 1400 per run is very reasonable.

Its the opposite a back pack sprayer sucks balls you bang into everything and never are abel to properly cover the room or plants. Foggers are great they will cover every part of the plant they get into every part that a regular sprayer cant. The entire room stays fogged even after the fogger is turned off for at least 30 min.It takes 15 min to foliar an entire 40 k room as opposie to hours with an hand held sprayer. Before I got my fogger I bought a battery powered one with an electric pump from rosmania it was a little better no more pumping but the fogger is way better.

There is no real way to prevent this but a rag dipped in rubbing alchol is part of the weekly maint. For cleaning bulbs.

Thats a killer deal and price for what it does if the Aptus feed chart is followed the plants will really put on a show.:woohoo:

Keep us posted on the moab/hammerhead rooms Jack. I'd like to see the results vs aptus. Keep playing with that fire

testing out the base pellets on one plant
the same strain is getting biobizz as a comparison
using ocean forest

took two sample packs 100 grams total and top dressed

after veggin and being in flower for a few days I have observed:

no leaf droop in the early hrs of the dark cycle, the bb plants are drooping alot and some a little

much stronger stems

bushiest plant out of all

no deficiencies I can see

most nodes and tightest stack

now we'll see how the budz shape up

has anyone used the base pellets stand alone or with other nutes?

Yes we pretty much have all of our moms in pure coco and top dress with Aptus pellets makes life so easy and the moms look great super healthy. We have been adding a hand full every 30 to 45 days the moms are in 25 gallon pots. The room we did the Aptus pellets plus Aptus boosters no base did just under the room with the base nutes plus Aptus. Both ways work great.I would say it last a good 45 to 60 days depending on how much you water and if your giving just straight Ro or adding a little Tea. With the moms its straight Ro so we give them every 30 days beacuse we take so many cuttings.But where only giving a handfull of top dress at 1 time.
wow looks like killer nutes would love to try them wish we could get them up here.
You should be abel to get Aptus any where.

Great thread guys.

I am using aptus for a few years now, and I am more than satisfied.
As base feeding I use biobizz too, but considering the aptus pellets instead.

I grow on soil, always used plagron royalty mix or batmix, but use canna professional plus now in smartpots.

Peace,
