NFT hydroponics kits and nutrient film systems

Look for online forums, hydroponic gardening books, and the supplier’s website for guides, tutorials, and community advice on maximizing your NFT system's potential.

Yes, but ensure they have similar nutrient and light requirements to coexist harmoniously without competing for resources.

We do not make taste or nutrition claims for anything grown in our kits.

NFT focuses on a continuous flow of nutrient solution, while other methods may use static water (DWC) or media-based (ebb and flow) approaches.

Tap water can be used, but it's recommended to test and adjust its pH and nutrient levels to suit the specific requirements of your plants.

Common issues include algae growth, nutrient imbalances, and pump failures, but these can be managed with regular maintenance and monitoring.

It depends on the plant, the light and the temperature. Seed packets give a guide for each plant. We do not promise faster growth than soil.

We do not offer a separate warranty. Everything we sell is covered by the consumer guarantees of the Australian Consumer Law. If an item arrives faulty or not as described, we put it right.

Regularly inspect plants for growth, color, and signs of stress or disease, and adjust the nutrient solution or system settings as needed.

Lights can run on a timer, and the pump moves the solution past the roots. You still need to check and top up the solution yourself.

Consider the available space, types of plants you wish to grow, and your budget to select a kit that meets your gardening goals.

A sturdy frame or shelving is needed to support the channels and reservoir, often included in the kit or easily constructed.

They are designed for easy assembly, with most systems being straightforward to set up, often requiring just a few hours to get started.

An NFT frame takes a small footprint, so it can suit a balcony or a small indoor space. Check the sizes on the product page.

The solution is replenished by adding water and nutrients to the reservoir based on plant needs, ensuring a continuous supply.

While best suited for leafy greens and herbs, root vegetables can be challenging to grow in NFT systems due to the shallow channels.

Maintenance involves monitoring the nutrient solution, cleaning channels to prevent clogs, and ensuring the pump remains in good working order.

They require electricity to run the pump that circulates the nutrient solution, making it essential to have a power source nearby.

To grow more, add a second kit or choose the larger 108 cup system.

We do not promise a yield or a growing speed. Results depend on the plants, the light, the nutrient and the care they get.

We do not make environmental claims for any product we sell.

Yes. Indoors, add a grow light, and an NFT kit can run through the year.

Regularly check and adjust nutrient solution, clean the system between crops, and monitor plant health to ensure optimal growing conditions.

Our NFT kits run from the 36 cup kit to the 108 cup system. Prices are on the product pages in Australian dollars, including GST.

They recirculate water and nutrient instead of letting it drain away. We do not publish a water saving figure.

Ideal for leafy greens and herbs such as lettuce, basil, and cilantro, which thrive in the system's continuous flow of nutrients.

Yes. Leafy greens and herbs are the easiest place to start. If you want the most forgiving first kit, the deep water culture kit is simpler still.

No soil, no weeding and a small footprint. We do not promise faster growth or higher yields.

It runs a nutrient solution along a shallow channel past the plant roots, then back to the tank.

An NFT Hydroponics Kit is a complete setup for growing plants in a water-based system where a thin film of nutrient solution recirculates, feeding the roots directly.
