Complete grow kits

Online forums, hydroponic gardening books and our product pages all cover NFT growing, and you can email us with any question.

Yes, but ensure they have similar nutrient and light requirements to coexist harmoniously without competing for resources.

Flavour depends on the variety, the light and the nutrients. Picking fresh just before eating is part of the appeal of growing your own.

NFT focuses on a continuous flow of nutrient solution, while other methods may use static water (DWC) or media-based (ebb and flow) approaches.

Tap water can be used, but it's recommended to test and adjust its pH and nutrient levels to suit the specific requirements of your plants.

Common issues include algae growth, nutrient imbalances, and pump failures, but these can be managed with regular maintenance and monitoring.

It depends on the crop and conditions. Leafy greens and herbs are among the quickest; check the seed packet for the usual time to harvest.

We do not publish a separate manufacturer warranty. If a kit arrives damaged, faulty or with parts missing, tell us and we will put it right under our returns policy and the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993.

Inspect plants regularly for growth, colour and signs of stress, and adjust the nutrient solution or light as needed.

The pump keeps the solution moving, and grow lights can run on a timer. Nutrients are added by hand.

Consider the available space, types of plants you wish to grow, and your budget to select a kit that meets your gardening goals.

A sturdy frame or shelving is needed to support the channels and reservoir, often included in the kit or easily constructed.

They are designed for easy assembly, with most systems being straightforward to set up, often requiring just a few hours to get started.

The compact, tiered frames suit balconies and small indoor areas where there is no garden bed.

The solution is replenished by adding water and nutrients to the reservoir based on plant needs, ensuring a continuous supply.

While best suited for leafy greens and herbs, root vegetables can be challenging to grow in NFT systems due to the shallow channels.

Maintenance involves monitoring the nutrient solution, cleaning channels to prevent clogs, and ensuring the pump remains in good working order.

They require electricity to run the pump that circulates the nutrient solution, making it essential to have a power source nearby.

Many kits are modular, allowing for easy expansion to accommodate more plants or different types of crops as your experience grows.

It depends on the crop, the light and how the system is run, so we do not quote a comparison. Our NFT kits hold 36 or 108 plants at a time.

We do not make environmental claims about our NFT kits. They recirculate one nutrient solution with a small pump.

Yes, with enough light from a window or grow lights, so you can grow through the year.

Check and adjust the nutrient solution, clean the system between crops and keep an eye on plant health.

Prices vary from affordable starter kits o advanced systems, catering to various levels of hydroponic gardening interest.

They recirculate the nutrient solution back to the reservoir, so you top up only what the plants use and what evaporates.

Leafy greens and herbs such as lettuce, basil and coriander.

Yes, it's designed for simplicity and efficiency, making it accessible for beginners with detailed instructions for setup and maintenance.

No soil, a steady supply of nutrient solution to the roots, and tiered frames that fit a lot of plants in a small area.

A pump circulates nutrient solution along shallow channels. The roots take up water and nutrients from the film while the upper roots get air.

An NFT Hydroponics Kit is a complete setup for growing plants in a water-based system where a thin film of nutrient solution recirculates, feeding the roots directly.
