absorb nutrients through the leaves much faster than through the roots. … foliar feeding goes a long way in boosting yields
Humidity in the air force moisture into your indoor air in the form of an invisible mist.
The finer the mist the easier the plant can absorb.
Foliar feeding is generally done using a fine mist spray bottle…
However you wish to create your mist, the finer the better! #invisiblemist 
Ok let’s forget about using the “humidifer” concept
Lets use the following concept;
In a fogponics system, water and nutrients are atomized and distributed in a mist with droplets in the range of 30-80 microns compared to a humidifier 10-20 microns.
Which is “Same same but different” … right?
So are we against synthetic nutrients being distributed through a fogger or a humidifier or are we against worm castings being distributed through a fogger or a humidifier?
So why can’t fogponics be used for the leaves of the plant like the study suggests below
Are we saying there is no point or are we purely saying it’s a potential health risk… because let’s be honest, fogponics would most certainly be releasing microns of droplets filled with organic nutrients in the air outside.
The Benefits of Cloning with Fogponics
What’s the big deal about cloning plants, and why should you use FogPonics?
These are some questions growers might be asking themselves as they try to understand some of the newest practices and strategies around for nurturing hydroponic plants to maturity.
Cloning is a delicate process, and it definitely takes technique. Unlike with plants that grow from seeds or seedlings, you’re having to transplant them without defined root systems, and that makes plants much more vulnerable and open to problems.
Here’s some of what we’ve been hearing from growers about how FogPonics as a foliar feeding method supports clones and helps them to grow into good health.
The Principle of Supplementary Feeding
One of the most fundamental ways that FogPonics helps is that it gives growers another way to nurture plants.
Traditionally, all of the feeding was done through the plant roots, through nutrient-rich water placed directly in the sterile media that, in some ways, mimicked the soil conditions for traditional plants.
But FogPonics is a different type of feeding called foliar feeding. In this method, growers actually spray or mist nutrient-rich water directly onto the plants stem and leaves. Small glands called stomata process the nutrients and vitamins the plant system.
So FogPonics is essential when plants aren’t able to feed well through their roots, for example, when clones don’t have developed root systems yet.
Direct Applications
One of the corollary benefits of FogPonics and other foliar feeding methods is that growers can manage the nutrients better. They can control the nutrient mix in a spray bottle a little bit better than the nutrient rich water coming from a deep water culture reservoir.
Although traditional hydroponics irrigation systems can be fine, FogPonics represents a more direct way to get key nutritional elements to plants.
No Pump
When you talk to growers who have been in business for a while, one of the biggest problems that many of them mention is pump failure. You face all kinds of problems with the engineering of getting a well rated pump where it needs to be. Then, pumps can break down. A manually operated spray bottle never breaks down, and that’s another benefit of FogPonics for clones and other types of plants.
I mentioned fogponics above. I still think it’s best used in the root system. But even still from all I’ve seen it’s a maintenance heavy system. Not to mention if one part fails the plants would likely die at a much faster pace than other systems.
I foliar feed based on the overwhelming scientific evidence of its benefits. I can post links to many sources if needed.
They are everywhere and the info that says it’s bad to do is not really backed up by science.
Take a look here…you decide…

As stated earlier I wouldn’t put teas in my air but will directly on the plants leaves using a sprayer or water with teas.
Hope this helps and HAGD
I wasn’t meaning fogponics as a whole I was using it as an example as they use the fog machine for foliar feeding using organic fertilizers.
We have a few different points being discussed all at the same time lol.
So we have established using worm tea in a humidifier is not “recommended” based on it ruining the humidifier and the “potential” health risks. All of which I understand and respect.
But after reseaching, i have found evidence that fogponic growers not only use the fog concept for the roots but also use the fog from the fog machine to foliar feed using organic fertilizers in the fog machine.
Its a relatively new concept that is currently being explored more and more. And it’s something that cannot be completely disgregared until it actually has been proven that there are risk factors. I didn’t find anything on the risks when using a fog misting machine for foliar feedling using organic fertilizers.
So I guess at this time it’s all up in the air neither here or there. Love or hate it. Use or don’t use it but the current studies cannot be ignored or disgregared.
I think it’s a interesting idea. If you’ve ever seen some of the grows using the method it’s really neat since most combine it with vertical grows.
I’m just not sure it’s something I’d mess with in the home scenario. That much moisture needs a specially built room for it. Otherwise it could be mold everywhere.
I used it all through my Cherry pie veg period and I never had one deficiency. Whether foliar feeding this way was the reason, I can’t say. but I’ll stand by the researched I’ve done on it.
The biggest concern for most is the unknown… which I respect. But I delve into the unknowns and test for myself once I seek out studies that back my curiosity. As you can see from @Skydiver studies.
I don’t just jump into things Willy nilly 
I can vouch for this as well. My plants seem to like the tea. Not only my marijuana plants but also my tomatos and lettuce.
Some here think we’re crazy. Actually made me question myself. I’m heading into flower now so high humidity isn’t as important. I’ll add the tea to the roots from here on out.
Here’s a picture of Gold leaf my last grow at five weeks without casting tea humidity. The soil is set up exactly like the same as the current grow. It’s the plant on the bottom left.
Here is current Gold leaf also at five weeks. Also set up exactly like the above gold leaf. Only difference is adding casting tea to humidify with.
There is a big difference in size. I don’t think this is a coincidence.
As for the using a “humidifier”
I think the biggest concern I’ve come to realise is because it’s a public forum and their is allot of unknowns in regards to adding worm tea as a airborne fertilizer it’s not something the forum wants others to be telling people to do.
So i think we can steer in the direction of fogponics which has been a tried and tested method that can’t really be denied without further research.
Even though a fog machine & a humidifier operate in the same way in principle.
So It’s now “fogponic foliar feeding” and not adding anything to a humidifier as it’s not tried and tested by professionals as they use a fog mister machine.
And just to confirm. It doesn’t say anywhere I can find as yet about worm tea but it does state organic fertilizers being used in fogponic foliar feeding.
Just had to keep things above board 
I wouldn’t do it strictly for the well being of my carbon filter. But I’ve also found unnecessary to foliar feed as well. It’s difficult to make a formidable argument one way or the other for something one hasn’t done. However it’s my opinion that potential repercussions make things very easy to dismiss, or at least very difficult to support.
the last time I did that I got so sick it felt like the flu it lasted 4 hrs I thought I was gonna die
