The Ultimate Drainage System: Holes, No Holes, or Mesh?
To maximize your growth, you need the right tool for the specific job. Whether you’re practicing bottom-watering or need maximum aeration, we offer the perfect configuration for your setup.
Trays with Drainage Holes
Best For: Seedlings, deep-rooted crops, and overhead watering.
- Prevent Root Rot: Precision-cut holes allow excess water to escape, ensuring your soil stays hydrated but never waterlogged.
- Air Pruning: Promotes a healthier, more fibrous root system by preventing roots from circling the bottom of the tray.
- The Perfect Match: Designed to nest perfectly inside our "No Hole" trays for a seamless bottom-watering system.
Trays with No Holes (Solid Trays)
Best For: Microgreens, wheatgrass, and indoor seed starting.
- Mess-Free Growing: Acts as a reservoir for bottom-watering, keeping your shelves and grow lights dry and clean.
- Water Conservation: Allows you to control exactly how much moisture your plants receive without runoff.
- Heavy-Duty Transport: Use these as a "carrier tray" to move multiple cell inserts or "Hole" trays at once without drips.
Mesh Trays
Best For: Fodder, wheatgrass, and high-drainage hydroponics.
- Maximum Aeration: The open-grid bottom provides 360-degree airflow, which is critical for preventing mold in high-density crops like fodder.
- Rapid Drainage: Ideal for "ebb and flow" systems or quick-rinse applications where you need water to move through the root zone instantly.
- Easy Harvest: The mesh design allows for easy removal of dense root mats without sticking.
The Pro-Tip: The "Nesting" Method
For the most successful microgreens and seedlings, we recommend the Double-Tray Method:
- Place your soil and seeds in a 1020 Tray with Holes.
- Nest that tray inside a 1020 Tray with No Holes.
- Add water to the bottom tray. This encourages roots to grow downward, keeps the foliage dry to prevent disease, and saves you time!
