    Thoughts on Hybrid NFT system.

    We will have a veg room and flower room. Each table is on wheels. Each with one res. Each table moves one position each week. 4 weeks veg, 4 tables. 8 weeks flower, 8 tables. Each week we rotate the tables, a perpetual rotation. I can keep temps and humidity different in each room. I can change...

    Thoughts on Hybrid NFT system.

    ANC, I'm assuming you mean the pumps are loud. I would have 12 in my setup. 32x30 space. 10' ceiling height. Any suggestion on a similar pump with less noise that can produce the same results?

    I like that idea also. It will not add heat to the water. What pump are you using. I had planned on submersible style.

    that makes perfect sense. Use a filter bag on the drain back. That stops anything. Thanks, great suggestion. I'll look up the coco products and see if i can get a sample.

    Larry3215, Thats a lot of good info. It sounds like aeroponics is the best way to feed the roots. Im not sure i want to attempt trying it yet. I know I'm not that experienced yet. If I won't be doing any harm to the roots with a NFT system, then I'll keep heading down this path. If anyone can...

    I have never tried coco fiber. Will it stay in place? Not break up and get into the res. Fouling the pump? Also how long does it last. I am going to make this a production system, every 8 to 10 weeks, it needs taken down and cleaned. Then recycled to a new batch. Can coco be reused or is it...

    "On the other hand, almost no one actually does NFT properly. Most do a Nutrient "Flood" rather than a thin "film" by running pumps that pump way to much water flow. A flood is not the same thing as a thin film." Larry3215, what is the benifit or downside to running more flow vs thin flow? I...

    Thoughts on Hybrid NFT system.

    I think i need to clarify. I am looking to see if anyone has used a NFT system that had a small dam on the tube to raise the water level a small bit. Is this beneficial or will this cause root rot. Deep water systems have the roots under water all the time with no issues, but this will only have...

    Thoughts on Hybrid NFT system.

    I am looking at a small commercial facility in Oklahoma. We have the existing building and have a space 16'x24' to use as a flower room. This will be a temporary location until we can get a new building up and operating. Do to the space restrictions we are trying to maximize it. I am wanting to...
