🏆 Growrilla NFT 36 Pro Line system : semi-professional performance
The Growrilla NFT 36 Pro Line combines a mid-size footprint (210 x 60 cm) with the quality of 100x80 mm co-moulded double-wall channels. The increased root volume and thermal insulation make it particularly suited to demanding strawberries, bushy basil and medium-to-large plants. It is the stepping stone between the demanding hobbyist and the semi-professional grower.
💧 How the NFT Pro Line technique works
Like any NFT system, the Pro Line continuously circulates a thin film of oxygenated nutrient solution along the bottom of each channel. The roots constantly draw water, air and nutrients, which significantly accelerates growth.
What sets the Pro Line apart is the double wall of the channels : an air gap insulates the nutrient solution from the ambient temperature, limiting the thermal swings that stress roots and encourage pathogens such as pythium.
🌱 Who is this model designed for
The 36 Pro Line targets semi-professionals and demanding hobbyists looking for superior harvest quality. It hosts gourmet strawberries (Charlotte, Mara des Bois), bushy basil, pak choi cabbage, chard, small sweet peppers and dwarf cherry tomatoes.
It is also the ideal tool for an educational project, an urban farm or a professional demonstrator thanks to its refined technical design and multi-year reliability.

🔧 Day-to-day installation and maintenance
Assembling the Pro Line is slightly more technical than the compact models, yet still accessible : allow 1h to 1h30 with the manual. The slope is factory pre-set and the fittings are watertight.
On long cycles (everbearing strawberries), check the EC, pH and water level every week. A full drain every 20 to 30 days is enough thanks to the larger buffer volume of the Pro Line reservoir.
💡 Pro tips to make the most of the double wall
The double wall lets you grow in an unconditioned greenhouse through wide temperature swings without penalising the roots. Take advantage of it to stagger plantings and smooth your production over the whole year, rather than locking in a single summer cycle.
For everbearing strawberries, prune the runners : remove them systematically to focus the plant's energy on fruiting. You gain about 20 % more yield over the season.
✅ Why choose the 36 Pro Line
Three decisive assets : the insulating double wall, the 100x80 mm root volume that hosts more demanding crops, and the Italian build quality (Robassomero, Turin).
You gain production stability (15 to 20 % extra yield in hot weather vs a single-wall channel) and crop diversity compared with a standard NFT.
📈 Pro Line vs classic NFT : why the double wall changes everything
In a single-wall channel, the nutrient solution fully absorbs day/night temperature swings, which stresses the roots and limits growth in summer. The Pro Line's double wall creates a thermos effect that stabilises the temperature around the optimal 18-22 °C zone.
For long crops (strawberries, bushy basil) or an installation in an unconditioned greenhouse, it is an investment that quickly pays for itself through consistent production.
