dude king your the man. right in time for the build i come across this diy!!! thanks again for the time and everybody's advice on the netpots is great to know
Yea i don't leave them in there very long and i take fairly small cuttings, although i plan increasing the average size of my cuttings now that i have a little experience. Average time between taking a cutting and putting her into flower chamber is less than two weeks. You can't see half of the roots in that pic and the lighting is off cause of the cheap red/blue LED panels used. They have alot of branches off of branches.
I've never had to worry about pHing my water or monitoring my temps. I've never put any nutes or clone solution/gel in the water. I had to pour a little water in once or twice a week to compensate for small amounts of evaporation and cutting utilization but I only changed the water out completely once (last week) since i first built the fogloner around Halloween '08.
I noticed they make floating buoys for the fogggers so they stay just
under the surface of the water and they'll float up & down with the reservior
I read the fog gets only 5" deep or so.
i saw a video about this and they claim the fogger disks break quicky or don't last long
and the water squirting out the top is burning hot.
Have you found this also?
You seem to do ok with the fog.
Saint, at one time you mentioned running 1 minute on / 1 minute off.
Could you suggest where I might find a cycle timer like that?
I believe you run 4 heads altogether --- how many gallons of water is that in and how close do you have the water level to the plants?
Thanks -------- CB
I guess no one has any answers for me, that's cool. Hey Saint I like your set up but you should definitely use a non transparent medium, light + roots = root rot, water + light = algae, might not have happened yet, but its going to.
Ok so I'm on mainland mart because apparently these items are rare.... I googled ultrasonic fogger and they're the first hit, maybe you can find some on ebay but I couldn't find a single other web store with these... that's crazy huh..
So anyway I was looking at the M001 and the MQ01, the M001 is the first one on the page the MQ01 is the third one, the first one is 1.75" tall, the other is 1.50" and is for shallow water, the M001 has a floater and the MQ01 doesn't as far as I can tell.
Any advice?
I'm totally going to DIY one of these as a cloner.
Oh for the interested go look up the FogBox on Youtube, not my design, not my product but still cool none the less and I think its a fine DIY design.
Looking forward to feedback
So which is more "user friendly" and economical to build, the aero cloner replica or the foggcloner?
The dual outlet air pump is $10 at wallyworld 2 airstones $6 plus tubing.
One fogger is $25 plus shipping, The fogger is more & if you use 2 the fogger will be way more money.

I paid $25 dollars for my first teflon-coated, single-head fogger from futuregarden. Then, before it even arrived, i picked up 2 single-head foggers (not teflon coated) just before halloween for about $13 each at a local grocery store. Then about a week later i picked up 2 more of the same single-head foggers for less than $11. I just ordered some teflon coated replacement discs for the cheaper halloween foggers. I spent this much money because i wanted plenty of foggers to experiment with. If you are just making a small cloner then you can make do with just one or two of these. Also remember that the ultrasonic discs are completely silent inside the cloner, which not even the "whisper" air-pumps can boast (i have one of those too). Also remember that the ultrasonic transducers producing a much smaller droplet size and i have had cuttings with a dried stem recover and root in the fog and they sterilize the res water too. I first made a bubble cloner (very cheap as i already had the airpump and airstones/tubing from another failed experiment with shrooms) but would not go back.
