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 tier
📐 11,520 sites

NFT 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 tiers
🛟 184 sites

DWC (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 tier
🪣 584 sites

Dutch 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 tier
🌊 288 sites

Media 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 tier
🌪️ 2,040 sites

Aeroponic 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 tiers
🪴

Kratky (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 tier
🧵

Wick 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 tier
🌾 5,400 sites

Microgreen Bench

Shallow trays on tiered shelving, hand- or wick-watered. Very high turnover, used for microgreens and shoots rather than full-grown crops.

Typical spacing: 4″ · 5 tiers
