NFT Systems

Efficient, Modern Hydroponic Growing

The Nutrient Film Technique (NFT) is a highly efficient hydroponic growing method that delivers nutrients directly to plant roots without the need for soil. Plants are cultivated in shallow, sloped channels where a thin, continuously flowing film of nutrient-rich water passes over the roots — supplying everything they need for strong, healthy, and rapid growth.

This system is ideal for a wide range of crops, including leafy greens, herbs, and fruiting plants, and is widely used in both professional and hobbyist growing environments.

Benefits of the Nutrient Film Technique

Efficient Nutrient Use: The recirculating nutrient film minimises waste and conserves water.
Aerated Root Zone: Constant exposure to oxygen promotes vigorous root development and reduces the risk of disease.
Clean and Low Maintenance: With no soil required, NFT systems are simple to maintain and easy to inspect.
Space-Saving Design: The compact, low-profile structure fits perfectly in greenhouses and indoor grow rooms.
Faster Growth: Direct nutrient and oxygen access accelerates plant growth and improves overall yield.
Temperature Control: To maintain peak performance and prevent root stress, water chillers are recommended for NFT systems, ensuring the nutrient solution remains at an optimal temperature.
