Alien Hydroponics AERO System - 8 Pot 4 Row
Struggling with slow plant growth and inefficient, high-maintenance setups? The Alien Hydroponics AERO System is engineered to solve these problems, delivering explosive yields with remarkable efficiency. This advanced 8-pot aeroponic system atomizes a nutrient-rich solution into a fine mist that directly envelops your plants' root systems. This method maximizes oxygen exposure and nutrient absorption, leading to significantly faster growth cycles and more robust plants compared to traditional soil or even other hydroponic techniques like DWC.
Designed for serious growers who demand professional results, this kit is both powerful and user-friendly. The modular design, part of the innovative
Alien Hydroponics family, allows for easy assembly and future expansion. While this kit provides everything for the core system, please note it requires a separate reservoir; we recommend the compatible
30 Gallon GardenTank to get started. If you're looking for a different configuration, we also offer a compact
4 Pot 2 Row AERO System.

FAQs
What is the main benefit of the AERO system over DWC?+
Aeroponics delivers an oxygen-rich, fine mist of nutrients directly to the roots, which can lead to faster absorption and more explosive growth compared to Deep Water Culture (DWC), where roots are submerged. This method also uses significantly less water. For those interested in DWC, Alien also offers excellent
RDWC hydroponic systems.
Is a reservoir tank included with this kit?+
No, a nutrient reservoir is required but not included. This allows you to choose a size that best fits your space and needs. We recommend a minimum capacity of 30 gallons. The
Alien Hydroponics GardenTank series is designed to integrate perfectly with this system.
How difficult is this system to assemble?+
The system is designed for easy, glue-free assembly. It uses threaded fittings and snap-on pipes, making setup straightforward even for those new to large hydroponic systems. A pipe cutter and wrench are included to simplify the process.
Can I expand this system in the future?+
Absolutely. The modular design is a key feature of the
Alien Hydroponics lineup. You can easily add more pots or reconfigure the layout as your garden grows. We offer systems ranging from a
single pot kit up to 36-pot commercial setups.
What is the recommended feeding schedule?+
Alien Hydroponics recommends a watering frequency of one minute every hour. The included cycle timer (Rain Brain) allows you to precisely control this schedule for optimal nutrient delivery and root health.
