Alien Hydroponics RAIN System - 3 Pot 3 Row Kit

Struggling with inconsistent watering and nutrient delivery in your garden? The Alien Hydroponics RAIN System is engineered to solve that problem. This innovative 3-pot, 3-row top-feed kit mimics natural rainfall, ensuring every plant receives a perfectly balanced and even distribution of water and nutrients for explosive growth.

Designed for both beginner growers and seasoned hobbyists, the RAIN system promotes superior oxygenation and root health while preventing common issues like root rot and salt buildup. Its versatile design is compatible with a wide range of growing mediums. This system is part of a larger family of advanced Alien Hydroponics systems, offering solutions for every type of grower, from simple gravity-fed setups like the EasyFeed System to advanced AERO systems.

Please note: A nutrient reservoir/tank is required to operate the RAIN system but is not included. We recommend compatible GardenTank collapsible tanks, or you can supply your own.

FAQs

What growing medium works best with the RAIN system?+

The RAIN system is highly versatile and can be used with various media, including soil, coco coir, clay pebbles, or rockwool, giving you the flexibility to choose what works best for your plants.

Is a water reservoir included with this kit?+

No, a nutrient reservoir is required but not included. This allows you to select a tank size that best fits your space and needs. We recommend a minimum capacity of 30 gallons for this 3-pot kit.

How does the RAIN system prevent root problems?+

By mimicking natural rain, the system evenly distributes water and flushes residual salts. The efficient drainage from the raised grid and sloped base prevents waterlogging, ensuring roots get plenty of oxygen and stay healthy.

Can I expand this 3-pot system in the future?+

Absolutely. The Alien Hydroponics RAIN system is modular and designed for expansion. You can easily add more pots, like the 6 Pot 3 Row Kit, to scale up your operation as you grow.

What is the recommended watering frequency?+

Alien Hydroponics suggests a watering frequency of one minute every hour. However, this can be adjusted with the included timer to suit your specific plant type, growth stage, and growing medium.

How does the RAIN system differ from a DWC system?+

The RAIN system is a top-feed drip system that delivers nutrients from above, similar to rain. In contrast, a Deep Water Culture (DWC) system, like the Alien RDWC, submerges the roots directly in a highly oxygenated nutrient solution. RAIN is often preferred for its compatibility with various media and its ability to flush out salts effectively.
