Hydroponic & Aeroponic Techniques
NFT (Nutrient Film Technique)
A thin, continuously flowing film of nutrient solution runs along the base of sloped channels past bare roots. Best for fast-cycling leafy greens and herbs.
Typical spacing: 6″ · 1 tierNFT A-Frame
NFT channels mounted on an inclined A-shaped rack to stack multiple growing rows vertically within the same floor footprint.
Typical spacing: 6″ · 4 tiersDWC (Deep Water Culture / Raft)
Plants sit in floating foam rafts with roots suspended directly in an aerated nutrient reservoir. Simple, stable, and forgiving for leafy greens.
Typical spacing: 10″ · 1 tierDutch Bucket (Bato Bucket)
Individual media-filled buckets fed by drip irrigation, with runoff recirculated. The standard choice for heavy-feeding, trellised fruiting crops.
Typical spacing: 14″ · 1 tierMedia Bed (Ebb & Flow)
A media-filled bed is periodically flooded with nutrient solution and drained. Versatile — suits root crops, herbs, and larger leafy greens.
Typical spacing: 8″ · 1 tierAeroponic Tower
Roots hang inside a vertical column and are misted with nutrient solution at intervals. High site density per square foot of floor space.
Typical spacing: 9″ · 6 tiersKratky (Passive Hydroponics)
A static, non-circulating nutrient reservoir with no pumps — the water level drops as roots grow, drawing air to the root zone naturally.
Typical spacing: 8″ · 1 tierWick System
Nutrient solution is drawn up into the growing media through a capillary wick from a reservoir below — fully passive, no moving parts.
Typical spacing: 6″ · 1 tierMicrogreen Bench
Shallow trays on tiered shelving, hand- or wick-watered. Very high turnover, used for microgreens and shoots rather than full-grown crops.
