• Compact nutrient film technique (NFT) hydroponic growing system for leafy greens and herbs Integrated lighting, irrigation, and nutrient management components provide everything needed to establish a productive indoor growing environment Desktop footprint maximizes growing space without the cost or space requirements of a full-sized propagation system Complete recirculating irrigation system continuously delivers nutrient solution to every growing channel Included Hydropocalypse K-12 curriculum supports hands-on instruction in hydroponics, controlled environment agriculture (CEA), plant science, and agricultural education Aligned to NGSS standards (K-5: LS, ESS, PS, ETS; MS: LS1, LS2, ESS3, ETS1; HS: LS1, LS2, LS4, ESS3, PS3, ETS1)

Only through Ward's! The Desktop NFT System is a compact nutrient film technique (NFT) hydroponic system designed for individual workstations, small group projects, and classrooms with limited space. Its desktop footprint makes it an ideal introduction to hydroponics, providing students with hands-on experience growing leafy greens from seed to harvest. An integrated recirculating irrigation system, LED grow light, and nutrient management components allow students to observe root development, nutrient uptake, and plant growth throughout the growing cycle.

The included classroom kit provides everything needed to begin growing on day one. Rockwool propagation cubes support reliable seed germination, while a balanced nutrient package and professional-grade pH and conductivity testing equipment allow students to monitor nutrient solution quality and collect meaningful data throughout the growing cycle. Lettuce seed packs are included so the first crop can be planted immediately, creating opportunities to harvest fresh produce for cafeteria taste tests, farm-to-school initiatives, and discussions around agribusiness and local food systems.

The included Hydropocalypse K-12 curriculum transforms routine system maintenance into part of the learning experience by guiding students through 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 Desktop NFT Annual Resupply Bundle provides the essential consumables needed to prepare the Desktop NFT System for another successful growing season. By combining fertilizers, pH management supplies, calibration solutions, propagation media, replacement irrigation components, and seeds into one convenient package, it eliminates the guesswork of sourcing individual components and keeps classroom growing projects on schedule.
