Alien Hydroponics RAIN System - 6 Pot 1 Row

Tired of inconsistent watering and nutrient delivery holding back your harvest? The Alien Hydroponics RAIN System is the ultimate solution for growers seeking professional-grade automation without the complexity. This innovative 6-pot top-feed system mimics natural rainfall, ensuring your plants receive a perfectly balanced and even distribution of nutrients every single time.

Designed for maximum flexibility and performance, the RAIN system promotes explosive growth by delivering highly oxygenated nutrients directly to the root zone. This method prevents salt buildup and root rot—common issues that plague traditional setups. Whether you prefer soil, coco, or other growing media, this system adapts to your specific needs. It is an ideal upgrade for hobbyists ready to increase their yield and is fully scalable for future expansion; if you need more coverage, consider checking out the Alien Hydroponics RAIN System - 7 Pot 1 Row. The glue-free, snap-on design makes assembly and maintenance straightforward for growers of any experience level.

Please note: A nutrient reservoir/tank is required for operation but is not included. We recommend pairing this system with a GardenTank collapsible tank for optimal results.

FAQs

What kind of growing media can I use?+

The RAIN system is highly versatile and can be used with a variety of media, including soil, coco coir, and clay pebbles. This flexibility allows you to grow a wide range of plants, including root crops.

Is a water tank included with this kit?+

No, a nutrient reservoir or tank is not included. You will need to provide your own tank with a minimum capacity of 30 gallons (120 Liters) to ensure the system operates correctly.

How does the RAIN system prevent root problems?+

The system incorporates several features to promote healthy roots. The top-feed method flushes old nutrients and prevents salt buildup. The included copper drain covers deter roots from entering the pipes, and the Dual-Flow™ fittings prevent clogs, ensuring consistent drainage.

Can I expand this system later on?+

Absolutely. The modular design of the RAIN system allows for easy expansion. You can reconfigure your layout as your garden grows. For larger setups, consider the Alien Hydroponics RAIN System - 12 Pot 2 Row Kit.

What is the difference between RAIN and RDWC?+

The RAIN system is a top-feed drip system that mimics rainfall, making it media-versatile. In contrast, an Alien Hydroponics RDWC - 6 Pot 1 Row system is a Recirculating Deep Water Culture system where roots are submerged in oxygenated nutrient solution.
