Alien RDWC 32 Pot 36L Silver Series

The Alien RDWC 32 Pot 36L Silver Series is the culmination of Alien’s technical know-how and classic deep water culture growing. This is the Silver System, which is the Pro grade edition – The Black System is the standard version should that better suit your needs. In an RDWC system, the plant sits in a small net pot and its roots hang down into the pot below. Inside these pots, nutrient rich water flows constantly around the system, between each pot and back to the header pot again. Each plant receives the same amount of nutrition as the rest, standardizing the grow. In the bottom of each pot, a Jet Stream Air Ring pushes air through the water, dissolving large amounts of oxygen in it. It is this super oxygenation with the constant flow of nutrients that supercharges the plants.

Plants growing in the Alien RDWC 32 Pot 36L Silver Series require very little by way of media – just enough for the small net pot. This serves to stabilize the plant while the roots are growing downward. Ridges on the net pot help prevent the media you use becoming waterlogged, reducing the risk of root rot and damping off. As there is no media in the main pot, the roots grow completely unimpeded and can therefore reach incredible sizes. All you really need to do is maintain the EC and pH of the water/ nutrient mix and you’re good to go. The Alien RDWC 32 Pot 36L Silver  Series features connections on the header pot to link up to a chiller to further your control over the system. When ordering, you’ll need to specify if you want the Jet Stream Silent pump to take advantage of this.
