Nutramist Ultrasonic Foggers For Hydroponics, Horticulture, Propagation, Foliar Feeding, Greenhouse And Grow Room Humidification And Pesticide Application

You can use the nutramist as a fogger, there is a way to hook it up to a humidistat and it will turn on and off as needed. I was thinking that Nurtamist for humid would be cool, because in FL the air is already humid, I could feed the nurtamist with a water / kelp mix and the plants would be all boost all the time.

I was thinking watts of light, not hours. On young plants I like to run 24/7 for 30days then switch to 18/6 till I think they are nice and big and have good roots, when switch to 12/12. Once they start growing fast move them outside. Your running a 600watt, would 600watt to be much for one plant? Would 1,200 watt be the limit for banana? I am running two 8 4' T5 fluorescent. I was told that each 4x4' fixture is equal to about 450watt HPS.
