- Traditional Ebb & Flow Bench Drip System ? Used Soilless Substrate Slabs, cubes or other grow medium to house the Crop’s Roots & Absorb Nutrient Solution from Drip Stakes which is them collected by large trays that either remove or recycle the excess solution.
- NFT Based System ? Utilizes Large (6” – 12” W) NFT Channels in place of Substrate/Media. Soilless Substrates are NOT used reducing maintenance & contamination as well as allowing the solution to be easily recycled.
- Bucket Based System ? Utilizes (2-5 Gal) Buckets in place of Substrate/Media. Similar advantages as the NFT based system since there is no media involved, plus this method has the added benefit of being able to grow crops of the largest varieties.
