Alien Hydroponics AERO System - 18 Pot 2 Row

Tired of hydroponic systems that promise explosive growth but fall short? The Alien Hydroponics AERO System is engineered for serious cultivators who demand professional results. This 18-pot, 2-row kit uses a high-pressure aeroponic method to deliver an ultra-fine mist of nutrients directly to the root zone. This process supercharges oxygen absorption, leading to visibly faster growth, healthier plants, and significantly larger yields while using up to 95% less water than traditional soil gardening.

Designed for both reliability and ease of use, the AERO system eliminates common issues like root clogging and poor oxygenation that can plague other setups. Its innovative, no-glue design makes assembly and maintenance straightforward, even for those new to aeroponics. With options for 15L or 30L pots, you can tailor the system to your specific crop and space requirements, making it a versatile foundation for any serious grow operation. For growers looking for a different approach, the Alien RDWC system offers a robust deep water culture alternative.

Please note: This AERO system requires a nutrient reservoir to operate. A tank is not included with the kit. We highly recommend the compatible Alien GardenTank 70 Gallon reservoir to complete your setup.

FAQs

What is the main advantage of an aeroponic system?+

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.

Is this system difficult to assemble?+

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.

What size reservoir tank do I need for this kit?+

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.

Can I expand this system in the future?+

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.

How does the system prevent root clogging?+

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.

How does the AERO system compare to a DWC system?+

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.
