Hydroponic Growing System NFT with Timer Control, PVC Pipe 108 Planting Hole, Garden Water Culture Plant Salad Vegetable with Timer, Square Net Pot, Sponge

The media could not be loaded. I just got my WEBPLANT Hydroponics NFT 36 holes 2 days ago. All parts came as advertised, pipes, pump, timer and even the piece of Tygon tubing. Today, I did a water test and the system works fine, video included. Most of the pipes are already glued and that makes the assembly easier. Then, my husband and I added PVC glue to the other ones. I had already taken a hydroponics class, got my certificate years ago and had my pilot assembly. My first system, was outside but I lived in a tropical island at the time with perfect weather for hydroponics. Now, I am picking up where I left but living in beautiful Georgia where the weather changes so I placed the system in a spare room inside the house in front of a window so I can get at least 4 hrs of direct sunlight. I can’t wait to grow my veggies!!

This actually works too well for the spacing of the holes. I may try every other hole next time. I've never grown stuff via hydro before, so very impressed newbie. This thing really shines with lettuce, and the chard is looking great. Tomatoes are also doing well, although we'll see how it all holds up when they start gaining weight. I've also just started cukes and peppers.Highly recommended, with a couple of caveats. Pick up a How to Hydroponics book through Amazon. Even something short and cheap will provide you with a great overview so you'll have a bit of a clue what you're doing (this does provide some decent instructions to get you started, but having a deeper understanding of the process is going to be a huge plus). Also, pick up some shadecloth. Lettuce in particular doesn't need a ton of sun, and it will be strained in hot sun. After wondering why my lettuce looked be having a problem, I googled it and set up a simple window screen that filtered out some of the sun, and you could tell a huge difference in a week. Shadecloth is the way to go, though, for a more permanent solution.

The pump just seems too small for this system. It doesn't move enough water and the built in timer is difficult to control. I am upgrading my systems to a bigger pumps and easier timers.

Received this and it sat for a few months until I could get to it. Not only does it pretty much lack any directions, it’s missing at least one part, another part came preconfigured wrong, and one of the main grow sections is a different link than the others causing the whole structure to bow out and be less stable. I’m very mechanically inclined and am finally had to concede that this was never going to work with the missing or wrong pieces and I would have to either go to the store and try to modify it or trash it. Probably just junking it. Do not buy.

Easy setup and happy.Grabbed the large set back when pandemic started since I had WAY more time a home.Only tried lettuce so far, which has been GREAT, but Lettuce I guess doesn't like summer here in Florida so will be trying some new things in summer, and lettuce in 'winter'.Would be nice to be able to order a backup pump (just in case this one ever fails) and more sponges separately from another system, but I will be buying another system anyway lol

Overall I think this is a good space and cost effective hydroponic system that matches a variety of use-cases.Pros:- Accessible price range, good value.- Easy assembly, simple design.- Space efficient, fits perfectly snug in a small footage balcony for me.- Modular, and relatively straightforward to tweak (swap pump, grow medium, adjust inlet/outlet)- Grows plants!Cons:- The pump. Very cheap, but in fairness it does get the job done out of the box. My pump clogged up via simple algae growth on week 2, and despite cleaning within a month it was no longer able to lift water to the inlet no mater what I did. Easy to swap out, but consider that flow rates of more powerful pumps will overfill the system faster than it can drain: so it requires adjustment to find the sweet spot.- While this system absolutely works outdoors, you will be fighting accelerated algae growth as water is very much exposed and promoting algae growth. I've found I need to flush the system every month, which is a time consuming process as you need to flush fresh water in and strategically empty the reservoir in batches.- I would not describe this system as sturdy. Mine settles with the PVC heavily askew and distorted. The water weight keeps the wind-risk of falling over low, but the tubes just sit on the frame and the footing of the frame is just open PVC. It's pretty janky, but ultimately functional.- The provided white cube grow medium is not good. I've had very limited success in getting it to work well with starting plants, and it turns quickly into a moldy algae block. Buy some Rockwool or better grow medium for best results, they'll fit just fine in the cube slots.

After I experimented successfully with some other very basic Hydroponic Growing Systems such as Hydroponic Wick System with merely Plastic Container, and some other Hydroponic method with only using Bucket + Strainer, I found this new Hobby so interesting especially after the vegetables I grow become to harvest.I'm ready going to the next level when I purchased this Hydroponic Growing System Kit which will do some tasks more automatically, as we can run the water with nutrient through the Hydroponic pipeline system periodically throughout the day via the programmable timer.When I received this Hydroponic Growing System Kit, I'm pleased with its Quality and easy to assemble in my unused Bathroom in the basement. I still have yet to test it, however I'm confident with the sturdiness of the materials.I'm preparing my Aquatica Green Organic Vegetable Seeds in provided cubes sponge to germinate before I can place each one of them in a Planting Cup. This Kit has 108 Holes to hold 108 Planting Cups. You can imagine the tremendous amount of vegetables on Harvest time!
