There are three types of hydroponic farm systems:

1. Suspended or Floating System: The roots of the plants are suspended in a nutrient-rich solution.

2. Wick System: Plants are grown in a growing medium, and a wick system delivers the nutrient solution to the roots of the plants.

3. Ebb and Flow System: The plants are grown in a growing medium, and the nutrient solution is periodically pumped into the grow bed and then drained back out again.
