Alien Hydroponics RAIN System - 15 Pot 3 Row Kit
Inconsistent nutrient distribution and salt buildup have long been the enemies of successful hydroponic gardening, but the
Alien Hydroponics RAIN System turns those challenges into a thing of the past. By mimicking natural rainfall, this kit ensures uniform hydration and oxygenation for every plant in your grow room, delivering the perfect balance of water and air directly to the root zone.
The RAIN Top-Feed 15 Pot 3 Row Kit is the ultimate solution for growers seeking a reliable, mid-sized system that supports steady outputs across different plant cycles. Unlike traditional
RDWC systems, the RAIN system uses a specialized top-feed design that allows you to work with various growing mediums while eliminating the risk of root rot and nutrient lockout. This modular kit is designed for easy, glue-free assembly and can be scaled up to an
Alien RAIN 36-pot system as your garden grows.
Please note: This kit requires a nutrient reservoir (not included); we recommend the GardenTank collapsible series for a perfect fit.

FAQs
What makes the RAIN system different from RDWC?+
Unlike
RDWC systems that submerge roots in water, the RAIN system mimics natural rainfall from above. This prevents root rot and helps wash away residual salt buildup from the medium.
Does this kit include a nutrient reservoir?+
No, the RAIN system requires an external reservoir to hold water and nutrients. We recommend using a GardenTank collapsible reservoir for the best compatibility.
Which growing mediums can I use with the RAIN system?+
This system is highly versatile. You can use it with soil, coco coir, or traditional hydroponic mediums like clay pebbles.
Is the system difficult to assemble?+
Not at all. The Alien RAIN system is designed with threaded fittings and snap-on pipes, allowing for a tool-free and glue-free setup that is easy to maintain.
Can I expand this system later?+
Yes, the modular design allows you to add more pots or reconfigure your rows as your growing space expands.
How often should I set the watering frequency?+
Alien Hydroponics typically recommends a watering frequency of one minute every hour, though this can be adjusted via the included cycle timer based on your plants' needs.
