Sounds like you have some experience in soil. Good.

I suggest you use that knowledge and start your hydro journey with rockwool blocks. It's a good bridge between soil and media less growing if you want to attempt this again. The rockwool blocks will give you a more soil ish feel than roots hanging in the air. A lot more similarities between rockwool and soil that can be used to up your hydro knowledge and then move onto media less grows.

What is this NFT you refer to??
All systems have to roots in something!
Aeroponics yes the roots sit in the air but they are constantly sprayed with highly oxygenated mist!!
If you filled the buckets with clay balls or perlite and drip fed them then this system would work.
Just having the roots hanging in a bucket with a bit of water dribbling over them will never work!
Your roots will be either dry to much and die or develop pathogens and die!!

In a kratzky method at one point most of the roots are in air. Youll see, it will work. Im not the first who attempt that

Sorry about that man! They really looked over watered. To get them some nutrients quick you can give them a few foliar feedings.

Its ok, i shouldnt try them hydro anyway, i started them in peat and vermiculite, my bad. The cotton ball was in fact too much water and the rest not enough. Mistake are learning. Im spraying them with rhyzotonic. (Ascophyllum nodosum extract) They show sign of recovery since yesterday, im waiting the next leave to see whats happen.

What is the Nutrient Film Technique - NFT? How does it work? - Trees.com

Nutrient Film Technique (NFT) is a versatile and familiar hydroponic system. Today, I'll get down to the details of this interesting soilless system.
www.trees.com

Yeah I don't think this will work for weed!!
Seems to be only for small leafy greens and strawberrys!
