Alien Hydroponics RDWC - 8 Pot 2 Row
Do you want professional hydroponic results but don't have the space or experience for complex systems?
The ALIEN RDWC 8 Pot 2 Row delivers commercial-grade recirculating deep water culture (RDWC) performance in a compact system that maximizes growth potential while minimizing complexity.
Perfect for intermediate growers, small-scale commercial growers, or home cultivators looking to increase their yields while keeping operations manageable, the RDWC 8 Pot 2 Row provides abundant oxygen and nutrient circulation directly to the root zone, creating ideal conditions for rapid growth and development. The unique design prevents common hydroponic problems like root clogging and oxygen deficiency that typically limit plant development.
Growers can choose between 5 gallon/20L or 9.5 gallon/36L pot sizes and configure with either compact or remote headers for flexible placement in any growing environment. The tool-free assembly and no-glue design allow for quick setup and easy maintenance, making the transition to professional hydroponics straightforward for growers at any experience level.
RDWC System Features
The ALIEN Hydroponics RDWC system delivers a super-oxygenated nutrient solution, pushing incredible growth rates and remarkable yields, while minimizing the effort needed. Designed for faster vegetative growth, the RDWC 8 Pot 2 Row ensures plants develop stronger, healthier roots in less time.
With uniform pH and EC stability, nutrient uptake is consistent while mitigating fluctuations that stunt growth. The plug-and-grow design makes setup effortless, while the virtually no-medium requirement reduces mess and maintenance, allowing growers to focus on achieving the best results, sans the challenges.
Accelerated Growth & Higher Yields
Delivers oxygenated nutrients directly to roots, reducing vegetative time and accelerating flowering for faster, larger harvests.
Enhanced Flow and Reduced Clogging with Dual-Flow™ Fittings:
Featuring patent-pending oversized 2" Dual-Flow™ fittings with slots that minimize root blockage for consistent nutrient delivery.
Flexible & Scalable Modular Design:
A modular system makes it easy to adapt to various grow sizes, allowing easy customization and expansion as needs evolve.
Efficient Nutrient Management & Reduced Costs:
Requires minimal medium and utilizes recirculating solution, reducing setup and operational costs.
Superior Oxygenation with JET-STREAM A.I.R.™:
Featuring JET-STREAM A.I.R.™ rings
that provide constant, high-pressure oxygen flow, promoting healthy root development.
Easy Setup & Maintenance:
Designed with threaded fittings and snap-on pipes for glue-free setup and easy reconfiguration. Includes features to simplify upkeep.
Heat-Reflective & Durable Construction:
Utilizing heat-reflective silver polymer to maintain cooler solution temperatures. High-quality, non-reactive materials ensure longevity.
Customizable Configurations:
Alien Hydroponics RDWC systems offer numerous preconfigured kits and custom options to maximize growing space with remote header and multiple pot sizes.

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.
