The ALIEN RDWC 16 Pot 20L PRO Silver Series is a high-performance hydroponic system designed for serious growers, offering key features that optimise plant growth and nutrient uptake. Here’s a breakdown of the system’s specifications and features:
Key Features:
- Dual-Flow™ fittings: Ensures balanced nutrient and air distribution for plants.
- 50mm silver pipe: A larger diameter pipe that facilitates better nutrient flow.
- A.I.R™ Rings: These promote superior oxygenation, enhancing root growth.
- Heavy-duty pots: Strong and reliable pots that hold the plant securely.
- Elevated airlines: These optimize the airflow to each plant for consistent oxygenation.
- Square net pots: Provide strong support to the plants and allow easy access for monitoring.
- Inline valve & filter: Keeps water clean and ensures smooth nutrient delivery.
- Chiller ready: This system can easily be integrated with a water chiller to maintain the ideal temperature for your plants.
Key Benefits:
- Heat reflective Silver Polymer: Keeps the growing environment cool by reflecting heat away, which helps maintain optimal temperatures.
- Super oxygenated: Provides your plants with a high level of oxygen, supporting faster root and overall plant development.
- Reduced veg time: Encourages quicker growth during the vegetative stage, so you can get to the flowering phase sooner.
- Uniform PH & EC: Ensures consistent nutrient levels throughout the system, leading to healthy, uniform plant growth.
- Plug in and grow: User-friendly design that simplifies setup and maintenance.
- Minimal medium: No need for soil, making the system cleaner and reducing the mess.
System Specifications:
- Minimum Footprint: 1.8m length x 1.47m width (compact when pots are placed close together)
- Maximum Footprint: 2.3m length x 2.15m width (with the included pipe setup)
- System Volume: 260L, which is a larger system suitable for more plants.
- Recommended Water Tank: 250L to ensure an adequate supply of water.
- Air Requirement: 150L/min to provide optimal oxygenation for plant roots.
- Water Chiller: 300L, in case you need to control water temperature.
- Veg Time: 7-10 days, allowing for fast development before moving to the next growth stage.
- Water Pump: JET-STREAM™ SILENT 1.0, with a flow rate of 950 L/hr and low power consumption (16W).
Parts Included:
- Pots, Lids, Net Pots, Pot Clips: Basic components for planting and securing your plants.
- Dual-Flow™ Fittings, Nuts, Collars, Washers: Necessary for system assembly and proper functioning.
- Valve & Filter: For managing water flow and ensuring cleanliness.
- Spanner, Pipe Cutters, Instructions: Tools and guides to help with system setup and maintenance.
- A.I.R™ Rings, 6mm Air-line, Blue 6mm Tees: Essential components for connecting the system and enhancing oxygen delivery to roots.
- Pipe (6mm blue, 16mm silver, 19mm blue, 50mm silver): Different pipe sizes for custom configuration of the system.
Recommendations:
- Water Tank: 250L for the right water volume.
- Air Requirement: 150L/min, which ensures optimal oxygenation.
- Water Chiller: 300L for temperature control if necessary.
This setup seems ideal for those looking for a larger system to accommodate more plants with fast growth and high efficiency. The increased system volume and air requirements suggest that this could work well for a medium to larger scale growing operation.
