Tip 1 - If you are putting very young seedlings or cuttings into nft make sure that there is lots of roots coming out of the bottom of the rockwool cube before you transplant them to nft.

Tip 2 - Put the water pump feeding the nft tray on a timer and have it on for 15mins every 2hrs to 3 hrs for about 3 or 4 day. The roots will develop really quick in this time searching for food.

Tip 3 - Don't forget you'll need to support the plants when they get bigger as nft has no depth in the trays (unlike waterfarms, etc).


I hope this helps you out.

Elevate the end of the tray where the pump is with a book etc, this helps with water flow..
