NFT (nutrient film technique) technology is the best system ever invented for quick turn crops: We explain how it works on the introduction page. Our NFT hydroponic systems are composed of growing modules that fit in most greenhouse configurations. These modules consist of:
Proprietary heavy duty growing channels, (affectionately referred to as "gullies") They are durable one piece 2"x4" flat bottomed extrusions made from FDA approved food grade high density polyethylene (hdpe).They are 12' long, easy to handle, stack and clean.
Table frames are free standing, light weight and made from super strong galvanized tubing. They are available in (3) lengths; 5', 10', and 20' long, by 12' wide. They arrive with predrilled bolt holes, bolts and braces, user friendly instructions. They are easy to assemble and disassemble.
Our NFT system design utilizes a unique method that optimizes crop production and rotation. Many of our growers are experiencing between 20-28 crop turns per year. With our system, we teach growers how to achieve this level of production.
Irrigation System: Each growing module includes a fill manifold (see illustration at right) with 2 feeder tubes per gully, gate valve, (to regulate nutrient flow) and union (to easily disconnect from system). The collector is an open gutter that allows easy movement of gullies in and out of the system and quick drainage back to the nutrient tank.

Growing Supplies: Includes 3 months supply of custom nutrient formula, Oasis propagation cubes, pH adjusters, EC meter, pH meter and propagation trays.
Nutrient Management and Grower Support: We analyze your source water and design nutrient specific to your water and crop and recommend water treatment if necessary. You receive our grower support from system installation all the way through your first year with complete package.
Biological Control Package: Sticky traps, Pyganic, Rootshield and Companion for basic pest and fungus management. We also have available IPM packages.
Complete systems with all these items and packages run $35,031.55 for a 30x132 greenhouse space. Grower provides primary nutrient tank.
• 14,040 plant sites total, 7560 finishing sites, 6,480 nursery sites.
• At 12 crop turns per year, 1570 plants per week harvest rate
• At 24 crop turns per year, 3140 plants per week harvest rate
• Tank and controls located outside of greenhouse to maximize growing surface inside.
• If tank and controls are inside, you forfeit (24%) of total plant sites.
• Installs easily on almost any greenhouse surface or outside
