 Product Description:  

The NFT (Nutrient Film Technique) hydroponic growing system is a popular and efficient method of soilless farming. It is widely used in hydroponics to grow plants by continuously circulating a thin film of nutrient-rich water over the roots of the plants. This system is highly effective for growing leafy greens, herbs, and other small to medium-sized plants.

How Does the NFT System Work?

1. Basic Setup:

• Plants are placed in channels or troughs, typically made of PVC or other waterproof materials.
• The channels are slightly sloped to allow a thin film of nutrient solution to flow from one end to the other.
• The roots of the plants are suspended in the channel, with the tips touching the nutrient film.

2. Nutrient Solution:

• A water-based solution containing essential nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, etc.) is pumped from a reservoir into the channels.
• The solution flows over the roots, providing them with water, oxygen, and nutrients.

3. Recirculation:

• After flowing through the channels, the nutrient solution is collected at the lower end and returned to the reservoir.
• The solution is then recirculated, creating a continuous loop.

4. Oxygenation:

• The thin film of water ensures that the roots have access to both nutrients and oxygen, which is critical for healthy plant growth.
