There are many hydroponic techniques on the market, NFT, Flood and Drain, Drip Irrigation, Aeroponics, Passive, and all these can be recirculating or run to waste.
Confused? You should be. Esoteric Hydroponics sells them all but for sanity's sake we have illustrated by far the most practical, easy to use, most popular systems on the market. These are, Nutrient Film Technique and Flood and Drain aka Ebb and Flow systems. The NFT system suits smaller budgets, gives good performance and is easy to use, however, it has a couple of drawbacks. These are lack of aeration to the root ball resulting in restricted results, lack of support for your heavy yielding plants resulting in you having to string or support your plants by whatever means you can think of. If pump failure strikes and you are away for the day with your lights on, it's kick the bucket time for your beloved plants. Apart from these drawbacks, which can be overcome, NFT cannot be mocked as its creation sparked the whole hydroponics revolution.
However, hydroponics has evolved a bit since NFT. For example, the Flood and Drain Pod system has taken the drawbacks of all the other hydroponics systems available on today's market and has overcome them in one fell swoop. Outrageous aeration to the rootball; superb support for your heavy yielders; at least three days grace if pump failure strikes, even if lights are constantly on; built-in overflow so no spills, modular - can be rebuilt to fit the most awkward spaces, hidden reservoir so no waste of valuable grow room space, a large capacity reservoir for reduced visits. As well as stupendous performance, it is becoming the definitive indoor hydro system and yes, even the largest 24 podder will fit through a loft hatch. All your concerns dealt with in one comprehensive technique - the Pod System™, invented, designed and manufactured by Esoteric Hydroponics.
