Alien Hydroponics AERO System - 18 Pot 2 Row

Aeroponics delivers the highest levels of oxygen to the root zone by misting roots directly with a nutrient solution. This leads to faster nutrient absorption, accelerated plant growth, and higher yields compared to other methods. It's also extremely water-efficient.

No, the Alien AERO System is designed for easy assembly. It features threaded fittings and snap-on pipes, which means no glue is required. This makes setup, reconfiguration, and maintenance much simpler than traditional systems.

A minimum reservoir capacity of 70 gallons (280 liters) is recommended for the 18-pot system. Please note that a tank is not included. The Alien GardenTank - 70 Gallon Reservoir is a perfect match for this kit.

Yes, the Alien AERO System is fully scalable. You can expand this kit up to 36 pots by adding more components, allowing you to increase your growing capacity as your needs evolve.

The system uses two key features to prevent clogging: patent-pending Dual-Flow™ fittings that promote unrestricted flow and copper-plated drain covers that act as a natural root repellent, preventing them from entering and blocking the pipework.

While both are effective hydroponic methods, aeroponics (AERO) mists the roots in the air for maximum oxygen exposure, often leading to the fastest growth rates. Deep Water Culture (DWC), like in the Alien V-System DWC, submerges the roots in a highly oxygenated nutrient solution. The choice often comes down to grower preference and specific crop needs.
