@gustavsimoni no it is an NFT system, to view a flood and drain system (ebb & flow) please see the other videos .
So can you put like a seed in between clay rocks and as long as nutrient filled water touches it , will it grow? or do you have to grow a seed in a soil pot first and then transplant it? So you do not have to do anything after setting up the system (no watering) just put the pump on a timer? Is there a specific mineral solution you have to buy and pour in the reservoir? What is the perfect mineral solution?
Thanks for all the great info! I really learned a lot from your video presentation. As an addition to all the information you shared, I have discovered from my readings that an nft hydroponics system is a favorite among commercial growers because it gives them more opportunities to grow more crops.
