IMO the fog would not contain nutes.
thanks,:thumb: but the method would not exist if u could not keep nutes in the water/fog. thanks, I'm still far from trying to deploy a try at it.

"Fogponics is an advanced form of aeroponics which uses water in a vaporised form to transfer nutrients and oxygen to enclosed suspended plant roots. UUsing the same general idea behind aeroponics except fogponics utilize a 5-30 µm mist within the rooting chamber and as use for a foliar feeding mechanism. Plants best absorb particles from the 1-25 µm range, the smaller particulate size means faster absorption. The added benefit of using fogponic's over traditional hydroponics systems is that the plants require less energy in root growth and mass, and are able to still sustain a large plant." wiki

I've researched this method time and time again. Definitely am going to get my hands into something like this for future experiments. The only factor I have to consider is keeping fog temps low as it produces some bacteria friendly temperatures. But overall it seems like an even faster method than aeroponcis as the roots are exposed to an abundance of nutrients in the water droplets of the fog, but at the same time getting the most concentration of O2.

in the image there is a light would that not be had for the roots to have it in the res like that?
should it not be covered or better purchased without the little light on it?
