HELP ON NEW STYLE FC!!

Hi all, i was board and came up with this in photoshop so now i was thinking about getting 2 digital timers so i can have the water run off one and the fan run off the other, so first i want the fan to kick on for like 10 to 15 sec to get stal air out then after the fan shuts off i want the sprayers to kick in for like a quick 4 to 6 sec maybe less depends of how much water it kicks out also there are holes in cap and in bottom of rubbermaid like a shotgun fc I will probably need to add a cool mist humidifier to it.
You can get either fog tips or mist tips heres the links for both: FOG: http://i-spraynozzle...g-Tip-173.html# MIST: http://i-spraynozzle...Nozzle-266.html
what do u all think any one got any input on this? would this work? and what would u add/take away?
and do they sell timers that can go for seconds instead of minutes? a minute for the water to run is a long time they will get too wet so how could i solve this problem?
I found sum :-)
found this one:http://www.growlight...-timer-539.html even cheaper one:http://www.joshsfrog...l-seconds-timer
little things i am thinking that would be kool to add: the intake fan will have a filter over it but i also wanna add a flap over the intake fan tubes so when the fan blows in, the flap will open and when it shuts off it will close.:-)
p.s. got sum info from another grower telling me to hook my Repti FoggerTM Terrarium Humidifier and lights to Zoo Med Laboratories HT-10 Hygrotherm it will shut it self off at wat ever RH u want and u can also hook your lights up to it im told and it will also shut it self off if it gets to hot.

I would think just having a humidifier attached should provide enough RH and FAE.

The more complicated you make things, the more stuff goes wrong. It is a rather innovative idea, but it would perform no differently than a clear box with holes in it...

i dont think there's any reason to have both a sprayer and humidifier. The reptifogger setup sounds like your best bet i almost bought one a couple days ago, or go with the fogger nozzles over the misters. Also the fanning should be after the spraying not before. Hook your light up to a non-digital 24 hour timer and have it on for 12 hours, i dont think a florescent should pose a heat problem. I dunno if you just intend on setting the fc on bricks on the ground but it should be at least a foot off the ground. With the holes in your fc, im not sure an intake is even necessary, a self contained fan might do the trick just fine.

well i really dont wanna fan by hand 3 or 4 times a day if i have to then i will but here took out the humidifier i only want the fan to come on ever 3 hours for like 15 sec to blow out co2.
so if all this works i wont need to really even open the box up i hope.

Again if you set it up with a single humidifier it will produce FAE and RH witch means no fanning and plenty of humidity. You would not need to open until harvest.

I do completely agree with Azurascender tho, adding extra devices to you FC can sometimes lead to contams.
