Fogponics

You'll need a 3D printer with a build area of 300mm x 300mm x 400mm, such as the Folger Tech FT-5 Large Scale 3D Printer, to print this out at full size. I haven't printed it out yet. To make this work, you'll need to buy a few things, including an ultrasonic fogger and a water pump, along with some half-inch hose. You'll also need a 2" net pot and rock wool or foam insert, which can be easily found on eBay. I recommend using foam inserts for cuttings. This is a single plant fogponic system designed to let you replace your ultrasonic fogger without disturbing the root system. Foggers frequently need to be replaced and cleaned, but with this grow system, it's easy to do so. As for nutrients, I recommend Advanced Nutrients Ph Perfect Grow, Bloom, Micro, as well as adding Big Bud, Mother Earth's Tea, and Carbo Load to the nutrient solution when your plants go into bloom. The more nutrients in the water, the more often you'll need to clean and replace your fogger. If you want someone else to print this out for sale, you can find it on Shapeways at https://www.shapeways.com/shops/fogponics. I recommend buying two ultrasonic foggers because they tend to break, so it's good to have another one on hand in case your crop survives. You can buy one from The House of Hydro at http://thehouseofhydro.com/store/p80/1_Disc_Mist_Maker.html. For the pump, I recommend using a Shining Pond Submersible Fountain Pump, which you can find on Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/Shining-Pond-Submersible-Fountains-Hydroponic/dp/B01LZIGKXF/ref=sr_1_16?ie=UTF8&qid=1484084585&sr=8-16&keywords=hydroponic+water+pump. For the net pots and foam inserts, you can find 5-10 mesh pot net baskets with foam insert on eBay at http://www.ebay.com/itm/5-10-Mesh-Pot-Net-Basket-Cloning-Foam-Insert-Hydroponic-Aeroponic-M1138-QL-/171919473469?var=&hash=item280732fb3d:m:mbhTK2m2Yp5Nka4C-k3hscA. I plan on printing these out and selling them on eBay someday.
