D.I.Y. FogPonic bucket cloner, 15 site.

Its been a long while since I posted and I wanted to share Pics of a simple and very effective type of Aeroponics... FogPonics.

I'm just showing pics not giving a detailed how-to. I'll update the pics later when the current batch in it pop roots.













A 5 gallon bucket and lid. Laid out and drilled for standard cloner plugs, 15 sites.
A piece of 1/4" Insulfoam board cut to fit the bottom inside diameter of the bucket. the center cut to fit a 3" netpot.
A 32 watt single head ultrasonic fog head
Some 1/4" air tube, a anti siphon valve, 5" single sided airstone
1 5 gallon rated air pump.
(*Cough* Wally World, Lowes)
About $50 in materials costs new.

Notice the pic of the lid and the 1/4" hole opposite the supply cord Hole.... Its for a 1/4" airline attached to a small 5 gallon rated air pump. Attached to that is an airstone with a plastic base, the air being diffused on just one side.... I hang it just under the lid, turned slightly in. It creates a slight venturi effect and helps distribute the fog in the chamber top to bottom and keeps it moving.

BTW use only distilled or RO water, EVER. Salts minerals and calcium screw up the fog head. Also use only 1/2 the nutes per gallon that you'd normally clone with. I recommend a 2.5 - 2.75 gallon fill in the bucket.

Happy cloning

Built one using a very similar technique and it worked VERY well using just RO water like
you had mentioned, was able to have roots showing in 5 days.

While your float looks like it would work fine, they do make the floats for like 3 dollars on
ebay, a lot of times they throw them in for free with some auctions.

Just curoius, do you block out the leds? They're pretty and all, but I wouldn't want them shining on my roots.

The LED's in this aren't strong enough to make a difference. If it proves me wrong I will replace the fog head with one that doesn't have the LED's.

i painted over the LED's on the fogger in my grow chamber. took like 5 coats of paint to really block it, but much easier than trying to take the unit apart.
