Alien Hydroponics AERO System - 9 Pot 1 Row
Tired of slow growth and inefficient watering in your garden? The
Alien Hydroponics AERO System is the ultimate solution for growers seeking explosive yields while drastically reducing water and nutrient consumption. This advanced 9-pot aeroponic kit uses high-pressure misters to deliver an oxygen-rich nutrient solution directly to the root zone, promoting faster, healthier growth and significantly bigger harvests.
Engineered for both beginners and seasoned gardeners, this system simplifies aeroponics by eliminating common issues like oxygen deficiency and root clogging. Its innovative, no-glue design ensures a hassle-free assembly and makes maintenance a breeze. Unlike traditional deep water culture setups like the
Alien V-System DWC, the AERO system uses minimal to no growing medium, creating a clean and efficient environment for your plants to thrive. The entire system is built for expansion, allowing you to scale your operation effortlessly as your needs grow.
Please note: A nutrient reservoir is required to operate the AERO system but is not included with this kit. We recommend the compatible
Alien Hydroponics GardenTank, or you can supply your own.

FAQs
What is the main advantage of an aeroponic system?+
Aeroponics delivers an unparalleled level of oxygen to the plant roots. This supercharges nutrient absorption, leading to significantly faster growth rates and larger yields compared to soil or even other hydroponic methods. It also uses up to 95% less water.
How often should I run the misting cycle?+
Alien Hydroponics recommends a starting misting frequency of one minute every hour. However, this can be adjusted based on your specific plant type, growth stage, and environmental conditions. The included cycle timer makes adjustments easy.
What size reservoir tank do I need for this system?+
A minimum reservoir capacity of 30 gallons (120 liters) is recommended for the 9-pot system. A larger tank will require less frequent refilling. A reservoir is not included, but the
70 Gallon GardenTank is an excellent, space-saving option.
Is this system difficult to assemble?+
No, the Alien AERO system is designed for easy, tool-free assembly. The pipes are snap-on and the fittings are threaded, meaning no glue is required. This makes setup, reconfiguration, and cleaning much simpler than other systems.
Can I expand this system later on?+
Absolutely. The AERO system is fully modular and designed to be scalable. You can easily add more pots or rows to expand your garden as your needs grow. We offer various kits, such as the
12 Pot 2 Row AERO System, to accommodate larger spaces.
What's the difference between the AERO and an RDWC system?+
The main difference is how nutrients are delivered. The AERO system mists the roots, which hang in the air, providing maximum oxygen. A Recirculating Deep Water Culture (RDWC) system, like the
Alien RDWC 9 Pot system, submerges the roots in a highly-oxygenated nutrient solution. Both are effective, but aeroponics can offer faster growth for certain plants.
