Misting System In Action

It is hard to capture the mist since it is so fine as the real goal is to just increase the humidity in the air and not nessiraily get the plant leaves wet, but it happens. If a true fogger was used this would produce an even finer mist but the set-up is more intensive and the overall plant benefit is not much more than what this simple system produces, so the fogger route could not be justified. A little leaf wetness is not bad and can actually be a benefit for the newly growing vine tips to reduce the chance of burning.

If you look in about the 12 o’clock position there is another mister on that shows the coverage of the mist a little better because of the shade line compared to the obvious one in the foreground. The plant has not reached this area, but the goal is to increase the humidity of the general growing space so the mist does not have to come into direct contact with the leaves to be effective.
