FAQs

What kind of growing media can I use with the RAIN system?+

The RAIN system is highly versatile and can be used with various growing media, including soil, coco coir, clay pebbles, or rockwool. Its design helps wash away residual salts, making it effective for different substrates.

How often should I schedule the watering cycles?+

Alien Hydroponics recommends a starting frequency of one minute of watering every hour. However, you can adjust this schedule based on your specific plant type, growth stage, and growing medium to achieve optimal results.

Is a reservoir tank included with the kit?+

No, the RAIN system requires a nutrient reservoir or tank to hold the water and nutrient solution, but one is not included with the kit. You can purchase a compatible GardenTank separately or use any suitable tank you already have.

How does the RAIN system prevent root rot?+

The system is engineered for excellent drainage. The sloped base, raised drainage grid, and timed watering cycles prevent the roots from becoming waterlogged. The copper-plated drain cover also helps maintain a healthy root zone by preventing roots from clogging the drainage pipes.

Can I expand this 2-pot system later on?+

Absolutely. The Alien RAIN system is designed to be modular and scalable. You can easily expand your setup by purchasing additional components or upgrading to a larger kit, such as the RAIN System 4 Pot 2 Row Kit, to accommodate more plants as your garden grows.

What is the main difference between the RAIN and an RDWC system?+

The main difference is the feeding method. The RAIN system is a top-feed (drip) system that mimics rainfall, delivering nutrients from above. An Alien RDWC system is a Recirculating Deep Water Culture system where roots are submerged in a highly oxygenated nutrient solution. Both are effective, but RAIN offers more flexibility with growing media, while RDWC systems are known for explosive root growth with minimal media.
