Only through Ward's! The NFT 4-6 System is a channel-based nutrient film technique (NFT) setup well-suited to a full school year of classroom growing. Six 4 foot growing channels sit on a stable steel frame alongside a dedicated drain line, while integrated lighting, irrigation, and nutrient management components provide everything needed to establish a productive indoor growing environment. A 30 gallon reservoir and submersible pump continuously circulate nutrient solution, giving students a clear, visible understanding of how plants grow without soil and how water, nutrients, and environmental conditions influence crop production.

The included classroom kit makes it easy to start growing right away. Rockwool cubes, a seed tray, humidity dome, heat mat, and thermostat support reliable seed germination, while balanced nutrients, professional-grade pH and conductivity testing equipment, and calibration solutions allow students to monitor nutrient solution quality and collect meaningful data throughout the growing cycle. Lettuce seed packs are included so the first crop is ready to plant immediately, giving students opportunities to harvest fresh produce for cafeteria taste tests, culinary programs, or other farm-to-school initiatives while exploring agribusiness concepts such as crop planning, production, marketing, and local food systems.

The included Hydropocalypse K-12 curriculum transforms routine greenhouse maintenance into part of the learning experience by guiding students through system setup, monitoring, cleaning, troubleshooting, and crop management. By making day-to-day operation a student responsibility, the curriculum reduces teacher workload while reinforcing teamwork, recordkeeping, problem-solving, and the practical skills used in commercial greenhouse and controlled environment agriculture (CEA) operations.

The NFT Annual Resupply Bundle provides the essential consumables needed to prepare the NFT 4-6 System or NFT Vertical System for another successful growing season. By combining fertilizers, pH management supplies, calibration solutions, propagation media, and seeds into one convenient package, it eliminates the guesswork of sourcing individual components and keeps classroom growing projects on schedule.
