The ALIEN RDWC 18 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: Ensure efficient distribution of nutrients and oxygen to the plant roots.
- 50mm silver pipe: Larger diameter pipe to support higher water flow.
- A.I.R™ Rings: Maximizes oxygenation for faster root and plant growth.
- Heavy-duty pots: Durable pots that provide strong support for plants.
- Elevated airlines: Helps with evenly distributed air to promote root health.
- Square net pots: Provides stability to plant roots, enhancing overall plant growth.
- Inline valve & filter: Keeps water clean and helps regulate flow for optimal plant health.
- Chiller ready: System is designed to work well with a water chiller for temperature control.
Key Benefits:
- Heat reflective Silver Polymer: Helps to reflect heat away from the system, maintaining a cooler environment for plants.
- Super oxygenated: Promotes accelerated root growth by ensuring high levels of oxygen in the system.
- Reduced veg time: Enables faster growth during the vegetative stage, reducing overall growing time.
- Uniform PH & EC: Ensures that the nutrient levels are balanced, supporting plant health.
- Plug in and grow: Simplified setup process for easy operation.
- Minimal medium: No soil or complicated growing medium required, making the setup cleaner and more efficient.
System Specifications:
- Minimum Footprint: 2.6m length x 1.1m width (compact when pots are placed as close as possible)
- Maximum Footprint: 3.5m length x 1.55m width (with the included pipe setup)
- System Volume: 300L – the system has a large volume for more plants or bigger growth.
- Recommended Water Tank: 250L – allows for proper system water volume.
- Air Requirement: 180L/min – slightly higher air demand for optimal root oxygenation, suited for a larger setup.
- Water Chiller: 500L – supports the need for temperature control, especially in larger systems.
- Veg Time: 7-10 days, promoting faster growth in the vegetative stage.
- Water Pump: JET-STREAM™ SILENT 2.0, 2150 L/hr maximum flow, with 32W power consumption (more powerful than the previous models for higher water volume).
Parts Included:
- Pots, Lids, Net Pots, Pot Clips: For plant stability and easy growth.
- Dual-Flow™ Fittings, Nuts, Collars, Washers: For assembling and securing the system.
- Valve & Filter: For maintaining clean and consistent water flow.
- Spanner, Pipe Cutters, Instructions: Tools for setup and maintenance.
- A.I.R™ Rings, 6mm Air-line, Blue 6mm Tees: For oxygenation and system assembly.
- Pipe (6mm blue, 16mm silver, 19mm blue, 50mm silver): Includes various pipe sizes for flexibility in configuration.
Recommendations:
- Water Tank: 250L is recommended to match the system volume and water needs.
- Air Requirement: 180L/min is needed to supply enough oxygen to the roots, especially for a larger system.
- Water Chiller: 500L for cooling the system water, essential for temperature regulation in larger setups.
Water Pump:
- Model: JET-STREAM™ SILENT 2.0
- Maximum Flow: 2150 L/hr (significantly higher flow rate for larger systems)
- Power: 32W (higher power than the previous models to accommodate larger water flow)
Summary:
This system is perfect for larger scale growing operations or for those who want a more powerful system capable of handling more plants. The increased water volume and air requirement make it well-suited for medium to large-sized grow spaces. The upgraded pump and chiller recommendations also show that it’s built for serious growers who want optimal growth conditions for their plants.
