Alien Hydroponics AERO System - 16 Pot 2 Row

Struggling to maximize your yields while managing water and nutrient consumption? The Alien Hydroponics AERO System for 16 pots is engineered for serious growers who demand efficiency and explosive growth. This advanced aeroponic system delivers a fine mist of super-oxygenated nutrients directly to the root zone, promoting faster development and significantly larger harvests with up to 95% less water than traditional methods. It's a complete solution designed to eliminate common hydroponic frustrations like root rot and oxygen deficiency, making high-performance aeroponics more accessible than ever. The entire Alien Hydroponics lineup is known for its innovative approach to cultivation.

This 16-pot kit is thoughtfully designed for easy assembly and maintenance, featuring a no-glue, snap-on design. With options for 15L or 30L pots, you can tailor the system to your specific plant and space requirements. For growers looking for different capacities, smaller 12-pot and larger 18-pot AERO systems are also available. Please note that this system requires a reservoir, which is sold separately; we recommend the compatible 70 Gallon GardenTank for optimal performance.

FAQs

What makes aeroponics different from other hydroponic methods?+

Aeroponics is a method where plant roots are suspended in the air and misted with a nutrient-rich solution. This provides maximum oxygen exposure to the roots, leading to faster growth compared to methods like DWC (Deep Water Culture), where roots are submerged in water. While both are effective, many growers find aeroponics can produce higher yields. For comparison, you can explore RDWC systems.

Is a reservoir tank included with this kit?+

No, a reservoir tank is required to hold the nutrient solution but is not included with the AERO System kit. This allows you to choose a size that best fits your space and needs. We recommend the Alien Hydroponics 70 Gallon GardenTank as a compatible option for this 16-pot system.

How much space do I need for this 16-pot system?+

The footprint is flexible. The minimum size for the 15L pot version is approximately 126" x 29", while the maximum is about 239" x 37". The 30L pot version requires a bit more space. Please refer to the specifications table for exact dimensions to ensure it fits your grow area.

What is the recommended watering schedule?+

Alien Hydroponics recommends a watering frequency of one minute every hour. The included cycle timer, or 'Rain Brain,' makes it easy to set and maintain this precise schedule for optimal nutrient delivery.

Can I expand this system later?+

Yes, the Alien AERO System is designed to be fully scalable. You can easily add more pots and reconfigure the layout as your cultivation needs grow, with systems supporting up to 36 pots.

What kind of maintenance is required?+

Maintenance is minimal. Regularly check the filter for debris and inspect the sprinklers to ensure they are misting correctly. When using mineral-based nutrients, very little cleaning is needed. It's also good practice to flush the system with clean water between crop cycles.
