What are cannabis grow trays?
Grow trays are rigid surfaces, usually made of durable plastic, that support and organize various growing elements such as pots, seed trays, plug trays, or hydroponic systems. They are also used as irrigation trays or drainers, helping to collect excess water and keep the crop cleaner and more controlled.
What are they used for, and what are their main uses?
These trays are very versatile and have different uses depending on the type of crop:
- Group multiple pots or small containers together for easy transport or watering.
- Collect drainage in hydroponic crops or frequent irrigation.
- Maintain a clean environment in grow rooms or greenhouses.
- Serve as a support for propagators, seedbeds, or automatic irrigation buckets.
Who are they ideal for?
Grow trays are a practical solution for both beginner and experienced growers. They are handy for:
- Those who grow indoors need to maintain strict hygiene.
- Growers of cuttings or seedlings who use seedbeds.
- Users of hydroponic systems, NFT, or cultivation in coco or clay.
- People who need to facilitate drainage in multiple crops.
What benefits do they offer?
Grow trays provide great convenience and efficiency in daily crop management. They keep the space clean and tidy by avoiding puddles and water accumulation, which is essential for preventing the growth of fungus and problems caused by excess moisture. They also facilitate drainage and help better control irrigation, especially in intensive crops or hydroponic systems. Their use also simplifies the transport of pots and seed trays, which is ideal for those who manage a large number of plants or need to frequently reorganize the crop. In short, they improve the hygiene, organization, and efficiency of the growing environment, optimizing the grower's time and resources.
