Alien Hydroponics RAIN System - 1 Pot Kit

Struggling with inconsistent watering and nutrient delivery in your grow? The Alien Hydroponics RAIN System 1 Pot Kit is the perfect solution, especially for growers focusing on a single premium plant. This innovative top-feed system mimics natural rainfall, ensuring your plant receives perfectly balanced water and nutrients for optimal absorption, explosive growth, and robust root health.

Designed for versatility, the RAIN system is compatible with various growing mediums and actively prevents common issues like root rot and salt buildup. This complete kit is remarkably easy to assemble with a no-glue design, making it ideal for both beginners and experienced hobbyists. As your garden expands, this system can be easily scaled up, forming the foundation of a larger setup like the 2 Pot RAIN system. The entire Alien Hydroponics lineup is engineered for simplicity and performance.

Please note: This kit requires a nutrient reservoir/tank, which is not included. We recommend the GardenTank collapsible tanks, or you can supply your own.

FAQs

What growing medium can I use with the RAIN system?+

The RAIN system is highly versatile and can be used with various growing mediums, including soil, coco coir, clay pebbles, and rockwool, allowing you to tailor the setup to your specific plant's needs.

Is a water tank included with this kit?+

No, a nutrient reservoir or tank is not included with the kit. You will need to provide your own tank with a minimum capacity of 30 gallons (120 liters). We recommend the GardenTank collapsible reservoirs for a convenient solution.

Can I expand this 1 Pot Kit later?+

Absolutely. The RAIN system is designed to be modular and fully expandable. You can easily add more pots and rows as your garden grows, scaling up to a larger configuration like the 4 Pot RAIN System or even larger custom setups.

How is this different from a DWC system?+

The RAIN system is a top-feed drip system that mimics rainfall, delivering nutrients from above. This differs from a Deep Water Culture (DWC) system, like the Alien RDWC, where roots are submerged directly in an oxygenated nutrient solution. The RAIN system's method helps wash away residual salts and is compatible with more types of media.

How does the system prevent root rot?+

The system has several features to promote healthy roots and prevent rot. The raised drainage grid ensures efficient water runoff to avoid waterlogging, while the copper-plated drain cover prevents roots from growing into the pipework and causing blockages.
