Complete Misting System Components
In the past a repeat cycle timer had been used which is commonly for propagation where newly rooting cuttings need the additional humidity to reduce the chance of desiccation and leaf wilt/burning. The downfall noticed with this system is the weather is different and ever changing so if the on/off cycle period is dialed in for one day the next it would either not be enough or excessive the following day. This system has a controller so it can react to the ever changing environment and at least ensure the humidity does not dip below a pre-set minimum.
The Components:
1.) TrolMaster Beta-6 Controller: This has proven to be a great controller that can handle the outdoor environment for multiple seasons. It is easy to set-up and make adjustments and also provides continuous “live” readouts of the current conditions. With any system it may take a little time to figure out the best sensor placement but the unit itself has been great.
2.) Homenote Misting System: This is a 92ft. (28m) misting line with 26 Brass misting nozzles in the white color to try and keep the water as cool as possible.
3.) Homenote Brass Misting Nozzle Plugs: While all of the above equipment is the fun and interesting components, this is a critical part that should also be purchased. It seems the spacing of the nozzles from the stock system are a little close so selectively blocking some of them can ensure the increase in humidity, but not excessively watering the plant area.
