If you’re new to hydroponics, the thought of how to mass produce NFTs can be perplexing and exhausting. Thankfully, there are plenty of articles about this topic already – but what if you don’t have enough time to read them all? That’s where I come in! Whether you’re just starting out or are a seasoned expert, I’ll give you all the information you need so that your farm can grow faster than ever before!
First Things First
Before you can begin mass producing your product, you need to determine whether or not it is feasible. To do so, simply ask yourself if you have enough resources available. With that in mind, there are three main variables which will make your goal easier or harder to reach. The first is capital; if you don’t have a large amount of money available, now might not be a good time to jump into hydroponics. Next comes labour; how many people are on your payroll? If you are one person working alone, be prepared to put in some overtime! And finally there’s space; as I mentioned above, hydroponics is an expensive investment so be sure that you have adequate room before committing!
Step 1: The Concept
When thinking about how you want your farm to look, you should ask yourself a few questions. What’s my target output? Do I want plants with flowers, or just leafy greens? How much land do I have available? Do I have enough sunlight available throughout a year to power my farm? Will it be exposed to extreme temperatures (hot summers or cold winters)? All of these things should be taken into consideration before purchasing materials because they’ll all affect your design. For example, plants that need high levels of light will take up more room than a plant like lettuce which grows in low light.
Step 2: Do Your Research
Before you start building anything, do your research. In an hydroponic farm, that means doing research on root systems and how they respond to different kinds of hydroponic systems. It also means finding out which plants grow best in a particular climate, as well as what kind of conditions they prefer (sun, shade, etc.). That way you can plant crops that work best together to create high yields.
For example, let’s say you want to build a hydroponic farm that grows both tomatoes and carrots. As I mentioned earlier, they need different things in order to thrive. Tomatoes need lots of sunlight and will benefit from high CO2 levels. On the other hand, carrots prefer shade, so your best bet is growing them in a closed system where they receive limited light. That way you don’t risk burning them when you do use overhead lights. You can also check if other farmers have tried growing certain crops together before so you know what kind of conditions they worked best under.

Step 3: Acquire Your Materials
What you’ll need to get started with your hydroponic grow is pretty simple. Once you have your setup, you’ll need some nutrient solution (we used General Hydroponics Flora series), a pH test kit, some seeds, and growing media like clay pellets or expanded clay aggregate (ECA). Since we’re working with NFTs, there aren’t too many variables here. This is good news if you want a project that won’t cost much.
For material, we recommend looking for expanded clay pellets. These are great because they have excellent drainage characteristics, low weight density, a neutral pH range of 5.5 – 7.0, high porosity (which will hold onto oxygen well), they’re easy to use and safe in hydroponic systems. Once you have them on hand, pick up a few bags of your favourite seed from any garden centre. Remember though that not all seeds are suitable for an aquaponic environment; some need to be germinated using soil or rock wool first before planting in your ECA media (more on germination later). Always be sure you know what you’re getting into before making your purchase!

Step 4: Build Your System
Take action and execute your ideas. Take a look at each of your projects one by one. Go through them line by line, word by word, until you’ve turned each project into a concrete action item that you can do in 2–3 days time. Then start getting those things done!
Step 5: Final Steps and Conclusions
Finally, it’s time to write your conclusion! What conclusions have you drawn based on your research and/or interviews? How does what you wrote in steps 1-4 help support your final conclusions? What’s new that you didn’t know before, but can now help answer questions or solve problems related to content marketing? Are there any unknown answers (known unknowns) that were revealed through steps 1-4 of research that deserve more attention or need further investigation? In order words, bring everything together in a way that not only ties up loose ends, but also provides a cohesive understanding of what you should be looking at when it comes to content marketing.
