What’s NFT?
NFT is for Nutrient Film Technique!
A shallow stream of nutrient solution is constantly pumped past bare plant roots.
Roots get almost unrestricted access to oxygen, water & nutrients. You know what that means? Yes! Epic roots, huge yields & a shorter growing cycle!
NFT systems are easy to manage - systems run 24/7 without a timer or controls.
It’s no wonder that commercial growers worldwide use NFT!
We recommend
Don’t forget to buy transplanting cubes, cutting seed cubes, your nutrients (we recommend using Shogun Samurai) & a pH tester.
It’s worth buying a spare Correx cover & spare pump too.
Keep your system sterile with Silver Bullet Roots. It kills 99.99% of root diseases and stays active in tanks for 5 weeks! If you already use Oxy-Plus 11.9%, switch to Silver Bullet and you’ll save 55%.

Questions & Answers
Have a Question?
-
How easy is it to change the water/nutrient solution ? Does this become more difficult as the plants mature ?
These systems feature a nutrient inspection area at the end of the tanks. The easiest way to change the nutrients is to use another pump, & a length of tubing to drain the tank.
-
Do you run the nft 24/7 or do you have the pump on a timer so the roots dont get saturated
You would run the pump 24/7 in an NFT system. As the roots are exposed in this system, they need a constant source of moisture.
-
nft gro tank, want to use a tent as part of my set-up but want to use say a 120*120 tent so need to know what size tank
You could use either the Gro-Tank 1000, or 2 x NFT Gro-tank 424 in a 1.2 x 1.2m tent.
-
Can I use this all the way up until harvest? Will the roots clog anything up?
The NFT Gro-tanks are designed to allow you to grow plants to maturity, the roots should not clog up the pump.
-
How many normal sized plants can you fit in the nft grow tank 1000
You could fit 9 large plants, or up to 25 smaller plants into the GT1000 system.
-
Hi what's the lowest height you could hang a 600w light from with a shield that would not harm the plants as I have restricted height For the NFT 205 GTI
I would say that the lowest that you could have your light would be 70cm from the top of the canopy, when the plants are mature. For earlier stages of growth, I would recommend having the light around 140cm away.
-
do u have the pump on 24/7 or 4-6 25mins intervals,how many plants can a gt205 take
You need to run the pump 24/7 in an NFT system, you can fit 2-4 plants in the NFT 205 GTi .
-
can you use clay pebbles with this system?
We would recommend just using the rockwool blocks for this system, as clay pebbles would restrict the run of the nutrient.
-
What sort of root mass can be accommodated? Would 6 large plants be fine in the 604, or would there be a danger of blocking/clogging sprays? Also, is it whisper quiet, or is the noise that of a standard pump? Thanks!
The NFT 604 Gro tank will comfortably accomodate 6 large plants, we would recommend using a product such as Cannazym to maintain a healthy root system. The pump in the tank is very quiet, we would recommend using a slightly longer length of spreader mat going into the reservoir from the top tray to minimise noise.
-
is there a correx cover supplied with the nft gro-tank 404?,,,thanks:)
The 424 Gro-tank comes with the tank, top tray, pump, delivery tube, & correx. These are all available as spares also.
