FAQs

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

The RAIN system is highly versatile and compatible with various growing mediums, including soil, coco coir, clay pebbles, and rockwool. Its top-feed design effectively prevents salt buildup, making it suitable for a wide range of substrates.

Is this system difficult for a beginner to set up?+

Not at all. The RAIN system is designed for easy, tool-free assembly. It features threaded fittings and snap-on pipes, eliminating the need for glue and making the setup process straightforward for growers of all experience levels.

Does the kit include a nutrient reservoir?+

No, the nutrient reservoir (tank) is not included with the kit and must be purchased separately. This allows you to choose a tank size that best fits your space and growing needs. We recommend a tank with a minimum capacity of 30 gallons (120 liters).

How does this system prevent root rot?+

The system prevents root rot in several ways. The 'rain' effect washes away excess mineral salts, the sloped base and raised drainage grid ensure rapid and efficient draining to prevent waterlogging, and the Dual-Flow™ fittings maintain a healthy, free-flowing environment.

Can I expand this 4-pot system later on?+

Yes, all Alien Hydroponics systems are designed to be modular and scalable. You can easily expand your setup by adding more pots or reconfiguring the layout as your garden grows. We offer various kits, including the 6 Pot RAIN System, to accommodate larger grows.

What's the difference between the RAIN and an RDWC system?+

The main difference is the hydroponic method. The RAIN system is a top-feed drip system that mimics rainfall, making it ideal for mediums like coco or soil. In contrast, an RDWC (Recirculating Deep Water Culture) system submerges the roots directly in a highly oxygenated nutrient solution, which is better suited for soilless grows with minimal medium.
