Grow up to 12 plants with massive roots with the 12 site AirCube Active Oxygen Hydroponics! This system is the one and only Ebb & Flow grow system on the market that combines the benefits of air pruning with a fully automated Ebb+Flow system!  With the AirCube's proprietary fabric pot in bucket design, this system is guaranteed to outgrow any other Ebb + Flow system on the market. The results speak for themselves- grow MASSIVE roots that result in MASSIVE fruits! 

Air Pruning- Air Pruning only happens with fabric pots. As the roots reach the fabric walls of the pot, they penetrate and grow into the breathable fabric. Once penetrated, the roots are exposed to air, which causes the tips of the root to dehydrate and naturally prune themselves. This natural pruning process forces the roots to grow tons of lateral fibrous feeder roots. This results in a plant that utilizes the entire root zone and fills the entire pot with tons of roots. These fibrous feeder roots are incredibly effective in uptaking water and nutrients, resulting in a plant that grows healthier and more vigorously! 

Oxygen Benefits- Without oxygen, nutrient absorption cannot occur. On a molecular level, oxygen is needed to transmit nutrients across the cell walls and into the roots of a plant. With the AirCube's proprietary bottom lifted draining design, the system actively draws all of the water out of the bucket pulls vital oxygen into the root zone.  

Maximum Versatility with Any Grow Medium: The AirCube System is the only system on the market that allows you to use any growing medium you like. Use coco coir, soil, peat moss, perlite, vermiculite, hydroton, rockwool or any other medium you wish! This system is the most versatile Ebb and Flow bucket system in today's hydroponics industry. 

Temperature Control- with the fabric pots constructed with highly porous polypropylene fabric, heat dissipates easily and effectively. Unlike standard plastic pots, heat isn't trapped in the root zone. Heat in standard plastic containers can reach temperatures of up to 125 degrees. When this type of heat is trapped and unable to escape, it can damage your plant's health and limit the potential of your harvest. Growing in the AirCube System, plant roots grow cooler, healthier, and more vigorous.

Largest Pots in its Class- this system features 5 Gallon grow buckets, the largest pot size of any other ebb and flow hydroponic system in the market.

Modular and Expandable- start with 6 grow buckets and expand up to 36 grow buckets with the optional 105 gallons PopTank reservoir!

Why AirCube

Why should I grow with AirCube?

Every design decision exists to give your roots more oxygen — and your plants more yield.

Bigger Roots

How does the AirCube system work?
How it works

How does the AirCube system work?

The AirCube is a fully automated ebb and flow system. Fill the reservoir with nutrient-rich water — the brain bucket handles everything else.

1

Nutrient-rich water is drawn from the reservoir into the brain bucket.

2

The brain bucket automatically sends water out to each grow bucket on a timer.

3

Each bucket floods with nutrient-rich water to feed and hydrate your plants.

4

Water drains through the bottom-lifted drain design, pulling vital oxygen down to your roots.

5

As roots receive oxygen, they air prune themselves and build larger, denser root networks.

6

The brain bucket repeats the cycle automatically — from your first seedling to harvest.

Real growers. Real results.

The proof is in the plants

Don't take our word for it — here's what AirCube growers are harvesting.

Got questions?

Frequently asked questions

Will this fit in my grow tent?

The 6-site AirCube is designed for a 5x5ft growing area (25 sqft). Each grow bucket is 10"x10"x12", and the full system including tubing fits comfortably in any standard 5x5 tent. If you're running a 4x4, the 6-site system still fits — you'll just have a little less walkable space around the buckets.

What else do I need to buy to get started?

The AirCube system comes with everything for the water automation. You'll need to supply four basics:

1. Clones or seedlings — your plants to grow.
2. Plant nutrients — any brand works, mixed into the reservoir water.
3. Grow medium — coco coir, clay pebbles, or soil all work in the fabric pots.
4. A grow space — a tent, garage, or dedicated room.

That's it. The brain bucket handles all the feeding automation from there.

How long does setup take?

Most growers have the system fully assembled and running their first flood cycle within 1–2 hours. The system uses color-coded tubing and quick-connect fittings — no plumbing experience needed. A full setup walkthrough PDF is included, and installation videos are available if you get stuck.

Can I start with 6 buckets and expand later?

Yes — the AirCube brain controller supports up to 36 buckets. Start with the 6-site kit and add individual buckets or upgrade to a larger kit whenever you're ready to scale. The 25-gallon reservoir supports up to 6 buckets. If you're planning to expand to 12–18 buckets in future, start with the 60-gallon reservoir now to avoid upgrading later.

What makes this different from a standard ebb and flow system?

Standard ebb and flow systems use plastic pots that trap roots, limiting root zone size and oxygen exposure. AirCube's proprietary fabric pots air-prune roots as they grow — forcing the plant to grow denser, more complex root networks. Combined with the bottom-lifted drain design that pulls oxygen down to the root zone on every drain cycle, plants get significantly more oxygen than with any other ebb and flow system on the market. More oxygen = bigger roots = bigger harvests.

What plants grow best in the AirCube?

If it has roots, it'll thrive. The three most popular uses are flowering plants, fruit-bearing plants, and vegetables. The fabric pots and adjustable float system work with any grow medium — coco coir, clay pebbles, soil, or wicking — so you're not locked into one approach. Root vegetables also work because the system can fully accommodate deep root growth.

What does the 120-day guarantee actually cover?

Everything. If you're not completely satisfied with your results for any reason within 120 days — that's an entire grow cycle — send it back for a full refund. No questions asked, no restocking fees. We also cover manufacturing defects for the life of your system. Contact our support team and we'll sort it out.

Is ebb and flow harder to manage than other hydroponic methods?

It's actually one of the more beginner-friendly methods because the automation handles the hardest part — feeding timing. Once you fill the reservoir with nutrient solution and set the flood intervals on the brain controller, the system runs itself. You just top up nutrients as needed and watch your plants grow. Compared to DWC (which requires constant pH monitoring) or drip systems (which clog), ebb and flow with AirCube is notably lower maintenance.

This ebb & flow hydroponic system earns high praise for easy setup, quality components, and leak-free operation. Customers said it's "everything I wanted, and more" with sturdy construction and modular design. Some noted initial setup challenges and one needed a check valve for drain pump cycling. Works with various media including soil.

  • The components are all super sturdy, heavy walled plastic
  • High quality parts, well thought out, doesn't leak, super modular
  • Best part not one leak and was up in running in under an hour

Easy To Setup & Worth It!

High quality parts, well thought out, doesn't leak, super modular and easy to reconfigure for different plant counts. I find it very hard to fault this system in any way. See it unboxed, installed, and it's first run (Apple Candie by Elev8) on my YouTube at Native Sugar Shack.

Effectiveness with ease coco/perlite

Was easy to set up, no leaks and is easy to use.
Starting my first garden with the air cube system, set up 7 cubes; so far has been a breeze. I added nutrient mix into reservoir, set the timer and the brain does the rest.

Great system

I’m new at this, but started last year with DWC, but stumbled with the water getting too hot. Once I started using the AirCube active aqua ebb and flow system with chiller I had no more worries. My 4th grow in about a year, and by far my best, 1st grow with AirCubes. In fact I just ordered a second system to cover a 2nd tent which I will do SCROG in.

Best Grow System I've Used

I've had this system for almost a year now and it is wonderful. Grow Ace has been very generous to me as well, upgrading other orders I've made with them. Grow Ace has definitely become my go to for all my growing supplies. Thank you Grow Ace!

Better buckets

I was designing buckets to avoid root rot, when I saw these, I threw away my plans, this is everything I wanted, and more. I look forward to seeing the results.

No other in its class!!

This is my third ebb/flow bucket system. I won’t name brands but let me just say don’t waste your time with any other system but GrowAce. These buckets bottom drain and keep your bags suspended on a bed of risers so roots never set in water, the bags can breathe!! The components are all super sturdy, heavy walled plastic, I can’t imagine ever having to replace anything but bags for a long, long, long time…
Honestly the system is worth the cost.

Hydro with SOIL?!

Bought this product because it was the only I'd heard of that boasted being a hydroponic system that had the option of using soil.
I was skeptical y'all, really was.
But, with a super soil mix and using a blend of salts and organics, this thing, at least so far, is amazing! Yes, you can actually use soil!
I'm a seed to soil guy, have been all my life for the past 17 years. Can't beat the taste is all I'm saying. The comfort and ease of hydro coupled with the option of a soil medium is a total game changer.
System was easy enough to to set up. Easier than tents are anyway lol, and so far I've had no leaks, clogs, ect. Clogging was my #1 fear, but the fabric pots hold it in nice and tidy.
(If using soil, don't flood it. Keep the soil particles in the fabric pot and you'll be fine.)
Only thing is I wish it had a daily/weekly timer. If you're using soil, esp in veg/early flower, you really only need to water once every few days. Only in late flower do you gotta water daily. Still, amazing product and well worth the skrill.
Haven't completed a full run yet, so remind me in a year or so for a follow up review focusing on the longevity of the product, ect.

EDIT: 2 runs in and I LOVE IT. don't hesitate on this one!

Customer Service makes the difference

I’m happy to write that the team at growace in particular Alvin is a difference maker. Alvin was careful to listen and understand my issue, quickly providing a solution to my situation. I will purchase again and again from growace as many stores stock similar products however customer service in this case makes the difference.

Nearly perfect, self bought check valve needed, is not included

I needed to purchase a short 3/4 inch to 3/4 inch one way plastic check valve (from online, I believe it was being sold as a replacement part for a hot tub pump) and install it immediately/directly above the drain pump inside of the "brain" bucket to prevent back flow from the drain tube. The pumps included in the system do not have back flow prevention, so the drain water exiting the brain bucket up the 1.5 ft and into the reservoir goes right back into the bucket just enough to cause the lower float to activate. This lead to a perpetual on off cycling of the drain pump every few seconds. Obviously this would not be good for the longevity of the pump woth drain cycles being 2 to 4 hours long between fills, or even longer depending on growing medium.

Also, I tried several different lengths of tubing on the drain hose to see if that effected/stopped the drain pump cycling on and off. The instructions say to cut the drain tube long enough to extend from the lid of the brain bucket to the bottom of the reservoir. This is when I first experienced the cycling. I tried progressively shorter lengths of tube including short enough to barely make it to the reservoir - there was no length of tube that prevented the drain pump from cycling. The check valve, to me, is a required part of this system that GrowAce didn't include for whatever reason. I am extremely detailed and foowed the instructions meticulously, I firmly believe anyone buying this system will experience this issue.

Other than having to spend 10 bucks for the check valve and 10 bucks some extra tubing, the system is awesome. I haven't began a grow yet, but I will have results of the beginning process of that in 2 weeks.

TLDR: great system, you need to buy a check valve to prevent drain water back flow.
