Ultrasonnic Fogger
    #18431857 - 06/17/13 12:53 PM (11 years, 6 months ago)

Hey, I bought an ultrasonic fogger for my fruiting chamber. Should i use distilled water or do mushrooms need minerals from the water?

Mushrooms don't absorb minerals from water, but I question whether you even need a fogger for your FC.

What is your FC?

Unless it is a mini-greenhouse, ditch the ultrasonic.

Regular tap water is fine, AFAIK.  I have used it in mine for several grows and had no issues.

I wouldn't use tap water in an ultrasonic though. It'll scum up the disc pretty quick and ruin it without very regular cleanings.

I have noticed no deterioration in performance of mine, and I have been using it for about 1.5 years.  There are replacement disk heads you can get for cheap as well.  Might offset the cost of distilled water in the long run.

I guess it would really depend on your region :thumbup:

My water here is quite hard. My fogger disc gets covered in scaling after even a month of use :puke:

Agreed.  I suppose I've been quite fortunate then! 

The replacement discs are ~$9 for three.  So unknowingly I picked the more economical option for my situation.  Maybe distil your own water? :laugh:

Clean the disks with vinegar.
My equipment after running my GHs for 2 months:


OP - I'd use the fogger in your room, not the FC.
Foggers aren't meant for FCs, but for rooms or bulk humidifiers.

ok cool! i have a bunch of cake to fruit and I want to buy a tent 4X4 or something like that so the whole room will be humidified. I will also buy a humidity controller so everything should be fine?
