Alien Aero 4 Pot 15L Silver System

The Alien Aero 4 Pot 15L Silver System is a professional aeroponics kit for professional growers! In the Aero system, plant roots hang suspended in the air from a net pot in the top of the pot. Sprinkler heads spray water and nutrients from multiple directions on to the roots either in intervals or constantly. This high level of water, food and oxygen supercharges the root system and causes explosive growth. There is no media at all in the bulk of the pot, so roots meet no resistance in growing, speeding development. As an additional benefit, cropping and harvesting plants becomes much easier with no soil or coco to deal with. It’s a much cleaner process!

The Alien Aero 4 Pot 15L Silver System has many features that give it an advantage over other systems. A grid system at the bottom of each net pot helps stop oversaturation of the media within, staving off root rot and damping off. The wide drainage channels funnel water away quickly and keep the system from blocking up. You can set the drainage system up as a recirculating system or a run to waste, whichever suits your needs. Each pot has a drain cover too to stop root ingress into the pipework. As a closed loop aeroponics system, growers can use up to 95% less water than traditional soil growing, while maintaining very rapid plant growth.

What’s the difference between Silver and Black Series?

The Silver Series has a few upgrades over the Black series, to really help maximise your grows. The silver colour pots and lids reflect light away and keep the temperature in the root zone cooler than a black pot. It also uses 50mm Silver pipe instead of the 32mm on the black, again to reflect light. This wider bore pipe means water flows quicker and easier around the system. Specialist “Dual Flow” fittings allow complete drainage of the pot, ensuring each dosing fills the pot with the freshest feed and water possible. There are also copper drain covers instead of plastic, which deter roots from growing into the system more effectively.
