PVC NFT Gully Joiner

Description

PVC NFT Gully Joiner is apart of our NFT range.

Nutrient Film Technique, other wise known as NFT is an easy to learn, versatile hydroponics system. Anyone can use with this system with a bit of knowledge and know how.
Similar to an Ebb and Flow system, a pump delivers fertilized water to the grow tray. A drain pipe is used to recycle the unused nutrient solution back through the system.
The difference is that in NFT, the nutrient solution is continuously flowing over the roots. Purely accomplished by using gravity through placing trays or gully’s on an angle. This enables water to flow down towards the drainpipe. Allowing the continued circulation of new solution constantly being pumping from the high end of the tube.

Nutrient solution flows in a thin film over the roots ensuring all plants receive water and feed. The film ensures the upper part of the roots will remain dry and have access to oxygen in the air. Nutrient Film Technique works best with chosen plants that do not require a lot of support- lightweight. Be mindful that no growing medium means the system cannot handle supporting a lot of weight from a top-heavy plant.

You can either place seedlings directly into the holes of your PVC pipe. For greater stability plant them in net pots and place them inside the holes. It is common not use a growing medium with NFT, let the roots fall directly through the net pots and onto the film. Whichever way you choose to plant your seedlings, make sure to check and trim the roots often to prevent out of control growth that can clog the system.
