Alien Hydroponics AERO System - 8 Pot 1 Row

Struggling with slow growth or inefficient water usage in your garden? The Alien Hydroponics AERO System - 8 Pot 1 Row is the ultimate solution for growers seeking professional-grade results with minimal waste. This high-performance aeroponic kit utilizes advanced high-pressure misting technology to deliver an oxygen-rich nutrient solution directly to your plants' root zones, triggering explosive development and significantly faster crop cycles.

By suspending the roots in air rather than water or soil, the AERO System eliminates common cultivation hurdles like oxygen deficiency and root disease. It is an incredibly sustainable choice, using up to 95% less water than traditional hydroponic setups. If you need a slightly smaller configuration for your space, the Alien Hydroponics AERO System - 6 Pot 1 Row is an excellent alternative. Engineered for simplicity and longevity, this system features a no-glue, snap-on assembly that makes setup effortless for both beginners and experts alike. For those looking for high-capacity deep water culture instead, the Alien Hydroponics RDWC - 14 Pot 2 Row provides a robust recirculating solution.

Please note: This kit requires a nutrient reservoir to hold your water and nutrient solution. A tank is not included. We recommend a compatible 30-gallon reservoir for this 8-pot configuration.

Setup and Maintenance

1. Prepare Pots

Attach the necessary fittings and copper drain covers to the pots.

2. Connect the System

Establish the recirculating network by connecting pots to the header using silver piping.

3. Install Air System

Set up the air pump and connect it to the air stones within the pots.

4. Integrate Pumps

Install the water pumps for high-pressure misting and efficient drainage.

5. Set Up Reservoir

Connect your external nutrient tank to the Rain Brain controller.

6. Fill & Test

Add water and nutrients, then run a cycle to ensure all sprinklers are misting correctly.

Maintenance Tips:

Maintain a 50-75cm center distance between each pot for optimal airflow.
Standard watering frequency is one minute every hour.
Regularly check the filter for debris to prevent sprinkler clogs.
Use ROOT ROT X™ to keep the root zone sterile and healthy.
Flush the system between crop cycles with clean water and disinfectant.

FAQs

What is aeroponics and how does it work?+

Aeroponics is a method of growing plants where the roots are suspended in the air and misted with a nutrient-rich solution. This maximizes oxygen exposure, leading to faster growth and higher yields than traditional hydroponics.

What reservoir size do I need for the 8-pot system?+

We recommend a minimum of a 30-gallon reservoir for the 8-pot 1-row configuration to ensure a consistent nutrient supply and stable pH levels.

Can I expand this system later?+

Yes, the AERO system is modular. You can add more pots or reconfigure your layout as your growing space evolves. Its glue-free design makes expansion straightforward.

How does this compare to the RDWC version?+

While RDWC systems submerge roots in oxygenated water, the AERO system mists them. Aeroponics typically offers faster growth cycles and uses significantly less water, making it more efficient for certain crops.

What growing medium is recommended?+

Aeroponic systems require very little medium. Most growers use clay pebbles or similar inert media in the net pots just to support the plant base, while the roots grow freely in the misting chamber.

How often should the misting cycle run?+

A standard watering frequency is one minute every hour, but this can be adjusted via the included cycle timer based on the specific needs of your plants and environmental conditions.
