Who This Is For
- You are moving to aeroponics because slow growth in traditional media is capping your annual harvest cycles.
- You are automating feeding because manual watering leads to inconsistent nutrient levels across your 18-pot layout.
What We Found
- We noticed the silver lids actually keep the root zone cooler than black ones when the lights are at full power.
- The copper drain covers are helpful because they stop roots from diving into pipes and causing a flood.
- You should plan your floor space for the 70 gallon tank since the pots take up more room than you might expect.
What Users Say
- Growers who switched from soil say they cut their water bill significantly by using the high-efficiency mist.
- Operators who moved to the AERO system report they spend less time on repairs thanks to the no-glue design.
- People running this 18-pot layout say the timer keeps their feeding schedule exact without manual intervention.
Alien Hydroponics AERO System - 18 Pot 3 Row
Tired of slow growth and inefficient watering? The Alien Hydroponics AERO System is engineered for serious cultivators who demand rapid growth, explosive yields, and unparalleled resource efficiency. This professional-grade 18-pot aeroponic kit transforms your cultivation process by delivering a fine, oxygen-rich mist of nutrients directly to the root zone, promoting faster absorption and more vigorous plant development.
This innovative design uses up to 95% less water than traditional soil methods and eliminates common issues like oxygen deficiency that can hinder growth. Built for flexibility, the AERO System is easy to assemble with a no-glue, tool-free design, making it accessible for both seasoned growers and those new to aeroponics. For those interested in other hydroponic methods, the Alien Hydroponics RDWC - 12 Pot 3 Row 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.
