Nutrient Film Technique (NFT)
NFT is a popular hydroponic system that involves a shallow stream of nutrient-rich water flowing through a channel, providing a constant supply of nutrients to the plants' roots. This method is efficient and suitable for growing leafy greens and herbs.
Drip System
The drip system delivers a controlled amount of nutrient solution directly to the plant's root zone through a network of tubes and emitters. It is versatile and can be used for a wide range of plants, making it a popular choice for hydroponic gardening.
Aeroponics
Aeroponics involves suspending plant roots in the air and misting them with a nutrient solution. This method promotes rapid growth and is known for its water and nutrient efficiency. It is ideal for growing a variety of plants, including vegetables and fruits.
Deep Water Culture (DWC)
DWC is a simple yet effective hydroponic system where plant roots are submerged in a nutrient solution. This method provides ample oxygen to the roots, promoting robust growth. DWC is suitable for growing a wide range of plants, especially those with large root systems.
