| How it works The nutrient liquid is pumped or fed from a tank or reservoir up to a purpose made tray or gulley. In some cases the trays or gulley is set off ground on a purpose built frame but some growers also use them flat on the ground, either way a gradient is needed to allow the solution to run down the system. The solution then runs down the tray or gully and back into the tank, it is then recirculated and pumped back up again. Larger commercial growers often use a run to waste process which simply means that instead of the solution running back into a tank to be recirculated it is discarded and fresh solution is circulated each time. We will come back to hydroponic nutrient solutions later in this article. Experienced growers usually use a type of ancillary mat spread along the bottom of the tray or gully, using this mat ensures that as the solution runs down the trays it spreads out into an even thin film, hence the name Nutrient Film Technique, the mat used here is often referred to as a spreader mat. NFT systems are available in quite a few different forms, some systems use trays and some use large gutter-like channels, they can also be made at home with a little bit of DIY knowledge and quite cheaply too. Home-made systems are worth thinking about so we will cover home-made growing systems on its own page shortly. Description The N.F.T. system (Nutrient Film Technique) is quite popular with home hydroponic growers as well. Mainly because of it's fairly simple design. However N.F.T. systems are best suited for, and most commonly used for growing smaller quick growing plants like different types of lettuce. Along with growing lettuce, some commercial growers also grow different types of herbs and baby greens using N.F.T. systems. We designed an mini N.F.T. system, they have the same characteristic of a very shallow nutrient solution cascading downward through the tubing. Where the bare roots of the plants come in contact with the water, and can absorb the nutrients from it. The major downside to an N.F.T. systems is that the plants are very sensitive to interruptions in the flow of water from power outages (or whatever reason). You can use the soft sponge as media to roll up the root of plant, it will fix the plant in to the mesh pot and also saves some of the water around the root. The plants will begin to grow very quickly and also solve the problem of pump power outage in period of time. Media recommend: soft sponge, clayball, perlite, vermiculite etc. Feature: 1 Meter Channel: 8 Point ( Pots ) Cutting Size: 10cm (W) x 5cm (H) NFT Tube Length : 1 meter(±5%) If you need different length, please contact us.
