Hydroponic Seeds

Seeds for hydroponic growing are designed for growers who want clean, soil-free production of herbs and leafy greens with full control over nutrition and growth.  Hydroponics is a method of cultivating plants in water enriched with nutrients instead of soil, allowing predictable development, faster cycles and uniform quality. This approach is ideal for urban farms, HoReCa suppliers, commercial leafy-green producers and home growers who need consistent results in limited space.

In our assortment we offer stable, hydro-tested varieties for 30+ day cycles, fully compatible with NFT, Ebb&Flow and Kratky systems, as well as with MP SEEDS A+B nutrients. You will also find matching Ebb&Flow trays to support your hydroponic setup from the very first day.

What is hydroponics and why use it?

Hydroponics is a method of growing plants without soil, using water enriched with essential nutrients. This technique gives growers a high level of control and reduces many common cultivation risks. By removing soil, hydroponics allows you to:

• prevent soil-borne pests and diseases,
  
  
• reduce water consumption through recirculation,
  
  
• ensure stable nutrient delivery,
  
  
• speed up growth cycles,
  
  
• increase planting density in limited spaces.
  
  

Because the environment is controlled, results are far more predictable than in traditional growing. This makes hydroponics especially valuable for farms that supply restaurants, supermarkets or subscription-based fresh-produce services, where consistency is crucial.

Recommended hydroponic systems:

Different hydro systems suit different crops and production scales. Below is a short overview of the systems in which our Hydroponic Seeds perform best:

NFT (Nutrient Film Technique)

A thin layer of nutrient solution flows through channels, touching only the bottom of the roots. Plants receive constant oxygenation and steady access to nutrients.
Best for: lettuces, pak choi, basil, leafy greens.

Ebb & Flow (Flood & Drain)

Plants are positioned in trays that are periodically filled and drained with nutrient solution. This method is excellent for flexible farm layouts and for growers who prefer substrate-based root support.
Best for: herbs, mixed greens, Asian greens.

In our assortment we also offer Ebb&Flow trays designed to work perfectly with this method.

Kratky Method

A simple, passive, pump-free system where plants sit above a static nutrient reservoir. It is one of the easiest entry-level methods.
Best for: beginners, home growers, small batches of lettuces and herbs.

To achieve consistent growth in every system, we recommend using MP SEEDS A+B nutrient solution to maintain balanced pH and EC throughout the entire cycle.
