What a 12 x 12 Square White Pot Actually Holds
Twelve inches on every side gives an inner volume of 6 gallons. Hydrofarm puts the working fill near 3.4 gallons, or 13 L, of clay pebbles. That gap is worth knowing. The size name suggests a lot more container than this actually is. A case of 24 weighs about 29.6 lbs, which says how light these are empty.
Running Finishing Plants in a 12 in Square Container
Depth and width match here, so the root ball develops evenly instead of running down a narrow column. Raised bottoms with multiple holes and slits keep drainage moving through a media volume this size, which is where a flat-bottomed container starts holding water. Anyone searching for a true twelve gallon pot wants a different product, and it is better to know that before the pallet arrives.
Key Features
- 6 gallon inner volume: The rated internal capacity, against a practical fill of about 3.4 gallons of medium.
- Holds roughly 3.4 gal of pebbles: Hydrofarm's own working figure, and the number to size a media delivery against.
- 12 in on every side: Equal depth and width, so root balls develop evenly rather than down a narrow column.
- Case of 24: About 29.6 lbs a case, light enough that a single person handles the delivery.
- Raised bottom with slits: Multiple holes and side slits keep water moving through a large media volume.
- Reflective white plastic: Deflects heat instead of soaking it up, which counts most in a container this exposed.
