TL;DR
NFT (Nutrient Film Technique) is a hydroponic growing method where a shallow stream of nutrient solution flows continuously over plant roots. This provides constant access to water, nutrients, and oxygen, supporting efficient growth in compact, scalable systems.
New to hydroponics?Indoor Growing & Hydroponics Explained covers the main system types and how indoor setups work.
What Is NFT (Nutrient Film Technique)?
NFT systems use channels or trays positioned at a slight incline, allowing a thin film of nutrient solution to flow past plant roots before returning to a reservoir.
Because roots are not submerged, they receive excellent oxygen exposure while maintaining consistent nutrient access. This makes NFT particularly suitable for fast-growing plants and high-density setups.
Continuous nutrient delivery: Roots receive a constant supply of water and nutrients
High oxygen availability: Roots are exposed to air while remaining hydrated
Efficient system design: One reservoir can support many plants
Space-saving layouts: Ideal for high-density growing environments
Low growing media requirements: Plants are typically supported with minimal substrate
