Timelapse of my Fogponics Hydroponics Grow System Jan 2015

My fogponic setup uses two plastic tubs with smaller reservoirs inside. In the interior reservoirs I have my feed solution and ultrasonic transducers that atomize the solution to the roots. Fans installed in the tubs circulates the mist. Starting out was slow as I learned how to balance nutrients and pH properly. However now the system is stable and I can experiment with more efficient energy usage! Lighting: Apollo 180W LED lamp. True wattage draw: 115W with fan. I have a 26W cfl in there as well that I use when working on the system. If the system were to fail for whatever reason, the CFL is used to augment lighting. Arduino controls the cycling of the foggers, ventilation fan, exterior air circulation fan, LED cooling fan, and LED lights. I do NOT recommend using an Arduino in the future: the system is not stable, even with the watchdog timer enabled. I regularly get system crashes that the watchdog catches every 2-3 days. I get system crashes that the watchdog doesn't catch every couple of weeks. If you're gone for a long weekend and it crashes, you're going to be set back pretty bad! I am unsure if issues I am having with stability are a result of the inexpensive RTC I am using or the Arduino itself. Growing: Indian Moon heirloom tomatoes, Lollo Rossa Lettuce, Basil. I am also looking after my friend's avocado tree and orchid as she is unable to this winter. Aside from the tubs I house many lettuce plants in old yogurt containers. These plants are not growing as quickly as the ones in the tub, but infrastructure cost is practically free for these guys.
