The Alien RDWC 36L Black Series is a professional-grade hydroponic system designed for growers looking to cultivate larger plants with enhanced root zones. With significantly more volume than the 20L variant, the 36L pots offer increased stability in pH and EC, longer watering intervals, and more room for roots to thrive—ideal for longer-flowering or large-yielding crops. This system features the same powerful recirculating deep water culture technology that Alien are renowned for, with the added benefit of higher-capacity components and an even more robust design.

Built for commercial and serious hobby growers, the Black Series 36L system ensures high oxygenation levels through integrated air stones and strong circulation. The system includes a centralised brain pot for balanced nutrient distribution, durable black fittings to block light and prevent algae, and precision-moulded pipework for leak-free connections. Suitable for small to large-scale growing environments, this RDWC system can be scaled up to 48 pots without compromising performance.
