VAKPLAST VERTICAL HYDROPONIC SYSTEM - PENTAGON LARGE - 5SV

In this system there is no medium, the roots are placed directly into the water, which flows through the drainage system over the entire surface of each successive growing container, thus also oxygenating the plant and all this without access to light (eliminating the formation of algae).This design guarantees an even supply of nutrients to each plant in the system.This system is the most efficient in its category because it is the most economical, allowing a surface area of approximately 9 m² to be managed on an area of approximately 2.5 m². Theoretically, it can be more than three times more efficient than horizontal systems, and as a rule of thumb, it yields two to two and a half times as much with the same level of lighting. It is also in the economical use of light in the middle of the pentagon, with each light illuminating up to three times the area of horizontal systems.

It is also characterized by its ease of maintenance, both in the simplicity of mixing the nutrient solution and its control, as well as good access to the plants for maintenance but also during harvesting. It also does not generate a lot of waste as in the case of systems using media (clay, rockwool, expanded clay...) which is a financial benefit at each harvest, but also a time benefit as time is lost in disposing of this waste or cleaning the reusable material (expanded clay). The only waste is the root system of the plants, which can be simply pulled out after opening the lid and can be recycled as compost.

Our NFT 4D VERTICAL system can also be used as an aquaponic system.
