Nutrient Film Technique Pros and Cons

[Johnlandy420]

Hello All,

I am huge a proponent of all hydroponic techniques but nutrient film technique continuously piques my interest. The problem is that I just cant find enough good information or resources on it. It literally lowers the activation energy required for the root hairs to engage in cation and anion exchange! Mimicking the environment river plants encounter seems like an excellent method to grow monsters. Is there any better way to fertigate a plant? I have read the need for a 24/7 pump becomes costly but aren't the outrageous results worth it? Any information or resources would greatly appreciated!

Cheers

I love nft. I’ve done flood and drain tables, f&d bucket systems, dwc, and rdwc. For me Nft is just the easiest. I don’t use any special pumps. I use 2 280gph pumps per res with a tube from each pump going to each channel for redundancy.
