 Need advice on hydroponic nutes and fogger

Hello everyone, I just finished up making an aeroponic system. I have done DWC in the past but went to dirt instead and now tired of the dirt and want to try aeroponics.
The only problem is the nutrients, when I first started out was with DWC and I had used GH nutes. For soil I use the whole FoxFarm lineup, though i have not checked into these hydro lineup which I am about to depending on the cost I may have to resort to something that I can get by with. Any suggestions? I am not looking for top of the line right now, but I do want something good though.
Just incase your wondering I am just using regular seeds nothing fancy yet i tried that and wasted all i had ordered due to lack of experience so since i just started with aeroponics i will wait awhile.
Also, i am curious to see if anyone here experienced or is working with or knows about Fogponics? I have a fog device i bought at a mart store that was used for halloween you would put it in a bowl of water inside a pumpking and it would fog. Did not come with a floater for the fogger to sit in to float in the resevoir but i thought I could make one but not sure if this fogger i have is not the right type for using with a aeroponic system?
Just in case for my system i am using a 30 gallon rubber maid with a 3" service hole in the lid with a cap and have not decided on 2 or 4 plants yet. I am using a 300 GPH fountain/pond pump, no sprayers i read using 1/16 drill bit holes were better when aimed to reflect off the side walls to create a mist. Dont know but I am gonna try it. I was going to use 3" net pots with hydrotron. I thought if i added the fogger to this system it would be a plus right??
thanks guys

try the GH waterfarm buckets! they have a 3 gallon reservoir built in and a 2 gallon root chamber. I got from seed to buds in just under 4 months in one of those-- Amsterdam Bubblegum is a fast strain and hydro makes it even faster!!
you can start your seed in a 'root cube' and once it sprouts just put it in the middle of the drip ring in the waterfarm!
as far as nutes go--- check out the Botanicare PureBlend Pro, you can add the HydroGuard, Sub-culture (GH), Sweet,liquid karma, and Cal-mag but there's no need for all that just the pureblend pro grow/bloom will work great as stand alone ferts and are 100% top quality organic but without the organic smell.

    So, in summation: The CIA, with a little help from the Nazis, accidentally helped invent hippies while they were trying to figure out how to brainwash communists.
Pour that on your granola and eat it, you zombie pinko bastards!"
