Who This Is For
- You are moving to aeroponics because your current top-feed cycles are not delivering enough oxygen to the root zone.
- You are switching to a 12-pot system because managing loose individual pots has become a maintenance chore.
- You are adopting mist-based feeding because you need faster growth cycles to increase your annual facility harvests.
What We Found
- The silver heat-reflective piping keeps the water cool, which we found is a huge deal in high-intensity tents.
- The glue-free threaded fittings make cleaning faster since you can take the whole system apart in minutes.
What Users Say
- Operators who switched from top-feed systems say the misting cycles produced a noticeably thicker root mass.
- Users who replaced old systems say the copper drain covers ended their struggle with roots clogging the pipes.
Alien Hydroponics AERO System - 12 Pot 2 Row
Struggling to maximize your yields while managing resource consumption? The Alien Hydroponics AERO System for 12 plants offers the ultimate solution, delivering explosive growth and healthier root systems with unparalleled efficiency.
This high-performance aeroponic system utilizes a fine mist of nutrient-rich water, sprayed directly onto the roots in a highly oxygenated environment. This method promotes rapid nutrient absorption, leading to significantly faster growth cycles and more substantial harvests compared to traditional methods. The AERO System is designed for both seasoned cultivators and ambitious beginners, simplifying advanced cultivation techniques. It's a key part of the innovative Alien Hydroponics lineup, engineered for reliability and superior results. For smaller setups, consider the AERO System 4 Pot version.
Please note: This kit requires a nutrient reservoir, which is not included. We highly recommend pairing it with a compatible tank like the Alien GardenTank 30 Gallon reservoir to complete your setup.

FAQs
What are the main benefits of an aeroponic system?
Aeroponics delivers the highest levels of oxygen to the root zone out of any hydroponic method. By misting roots directly with a nutrient solution, it encourages rapid absorption, leading to faster plant growth, healthier root systems, and significantly larger yields while using up to 95% less water than soil gardening.
Is this system suitable for beginners?
Yes, absolutely. The Alien AERO System is designed for easy, glue-free assembly and straightforward maintenance. While it uses advanced growing techniques, the automated 'Rain Brain' controller and simple design make it accessible for beginners who want professional-level results without a steep learning curve.
What size reservoir tank do I need for this 12-pot system?
A minimum capacity of 30 gallons (120 Liters) is recommended to ensure the system runs smoothly. While a tank is not included, the Alien GardenTank is a perfect, collapsible option designed to integrate seamlessly with this kit.
Can this 12-pot system be expanded later?
Yes, one of the key features of the AERO system is its scalability. You can easily expand your setup to accommodate more plants, up to a total of 36 pots. If you know you'll need a larger footprint, you might consider starting with the 24 Pot AERO System.
How does the AERO system differ from an Alien RDWC system?
The main difference is the method of water delivery. The AERO system uses a high-pressure pump to spray a fine mist of nutrients directly onto the roots in an air-filled chamber. In contrast, an RDWC (Recirculating Deep Water Culture) system submerges the roots in a highly-oxygenated nutrient solution. Both are highly effective, but aeroponics can offer faster growth due to superior root oxygenation.
What is the recommended feeding schedule?
Alien Hydroponics suggests a starting frequency of a one-minute spray every hour. This can be easily adjusted using the included cycle timer to suit your specific plant type, growth stage, and environment for truly optimized results.
