There are six main types of hydroponic systems to choose from:
Wick Systems:
This is a passive system that uses a wick to draw nutrient solution from a reservoir into the growing medium.
Deep Water Culture (DWC):
In this system, plant roots are suspended in a nutrient-rich solution.
Nutrient Film Technique (NFT):
This system uses a thin film of nutrient solution that flows over the roots of plants.
Ebb and Flow (Flood and Drain):
This system periodically floods the plant roots with nutrient solution and then drains it back into the reservoir.
Aeroponics:
This system delivers water and nutrients to plant roots by spraying or misting them.
Drip Systems:
This system delivers water and nutrients to plants through tubes or drip lines with small nozzles.
