Who This Is For
- Gardeners working in tight urban spaces who need a system that supports a single high quality plant
- Beginners mastering hydroponics who want a professional grade setup that eliminates manual watering errors
What We Found
- The 50mm dual flow fittings handle high nutrient viscosity well and prevent the common clog points we see on smaller units.
- The heat reflective silver polymer skin keeps the nutrient solution temp lower than standard black plastic buckets.
What Users Say
- Growers who struggled with algae in clear reservoirs report that the opaque design keeps the root zone clean.
- Users who transitioned from hand watering say the automated flow cycle resulted in faster canopy filling.
Alien Hydroponics RDWC - 1 Pot Kit
Struggling to achieve professional hydroponic results due to limited space or overly complex setups? The Alien Hydroponics RDWC 1 Pot Kit is your solution. It packs the power of a commercial-grade recirculating deep water culture (RDWC) system into a compact, single-plant unit that maximizes growth without the hassle.
Perfect for beginners mastering RDWC, urban gardeners with tight spaces, or seasoned growers dedicating space to a single premium plant. This kit from Alien Hydroponics provides a constant flow of highly oxygenated, nutrient-rich solution directly to the root zone. This creates the ideal environment for explosive growth and impressive yields, avoiding common issues like root clogging and oxygen deficiency that can hinder plant development.
Available in 5-gallon (20L) or 9.5-gallon (36L) pot sizes, the system's tool-free assembly and no-glue design ensure you're set up and growing in minutes. It's the simplest way to step up to professional-grade hydroponics.

Alien Hydroponics Setup and Maintenance
System Setup Steps:
1. Prepare Pots
Attach the necessary fittings to the pots.
2. Connect the System
Use piping to connect the pots and the header pot to establish the recirculating network.
3. Install Air System
Set up the air pump and connect it to the air stones in the pots.
4. Integrate Pumps
Install the water pump(s) for recirculation and chilling (if applicable).
5. Set Up Nutrient Tank
Connect the nutrient tank to the system.
6. Fill the System
Add water to the system.
Maintenance Tips:
- Maintain water temperature between 18-20°C (64-68°F).
- Add nutrients to the system and allow for recirculation before testing and adjusting.
- When planting, use a substrate layer in the net pot, water the cutting, and fill the remaining space with substrate.
- Fill the system using a hose, ensuring the correct level before turning on the pump.
- Drain the system as needed by connecting a pipe to the designated fitting.
- Use preventative solutions to maintain root health and system cleanliness.

FAQs
Is this 1-pot kit suitable for beginners?
Absolutely. This kit is designed to be incredibly user-friendly, with a glue-free, tool-free setup. It provides an excellent introduction to the power of RDWC systems without the complexity of a larger setup, making it perfect for first-time hydroponic growers.
What do I need to add to this kit to get started?
To get started, you will need an air pump, growing media (like clay pebbles), nutrients, and a pH testing kit. The system comes with an optional air pump, but if you choose the version without one, you must supply your own that meets the minimum airflow requirements specified.
Can I expand this system later?
This 1-pot kit is designed as a standalone unit. However, its modular principles are the foundation of the entire Alien Hydroponics RDWC line. If you're looking to grow more plants, we recommend exploring larger integrated systems like the 4 Pot RDWC kit or the 6 Pot RDWC kit.
What is the benefit of the JET-STREAM A.I.R.™ rings?
The JET-STREAM A.I.R.™ rings are a significant upgrade from standard air stones. They deliver a more powerful and evenly distributed flow of dissolved oxygen throughout the nutrient solution. This superior oxygenation promotes healthier, stronger roots, leading to faster growth and increased resilience against root-related issues.
What's the difference between the 20L and 36L pot options?
The primary difference is the size of the plant you intend to grow. The 20L (5-gallon) pot is great for small to medium-sized plants, while the 36L (9.5-gallon) pot provides more space for a larger root mass, making it ideal for bigger plants that you plan to veg for a longer period.
How does the system help keep the nutrient solution cool?
The pots and piping are made from a heat-reflective silver polymer. This material reflects radiant heat from grow lights and the environment, helping to keep the nutrient solution within the optimal temperature range of 18-20°C (64-68°F), which is crucial for healthy root function and nutrient uptake.
