The 6 x 6 Square White Pot as a First Step Up
Hydrofarm rates this one at 1.05 gallons, which puts it squarely in the transplant slot between a starter and a full container. Footprint is 6 by 6 in with 8 in of depth, so root systems get height rather than just width. The raised bottom carries the same multiple drainage holes and slits used across the line, keeping the base aerated instead of sitting in runoff.
Keeping Bench Density While the Plants Get Bigger
A round pot of the same volume takes more bench than this does. The corners of a square pot are usable space rather than air. That is the reason propagation and vegetative benches run square almost everywhere. White plastic keeps the media cooler under a light than black would. Light does reach the sides, so pots do better grouped than spread out.
Key Features
- 1.05 gallon capacity: The manufacturer's own figure, sized for the transplant between starter and final container.
- 6 x 6 in footprint, 8 in tall: Depth for root development with a footprint that still packs tight against its neighbors.
- Case of 50: Enough for a full vegetative bench in one delivery rather than several small packs.
- Raised bottom with slits: Multiple drainage holes and side slits, so the base of the root zone stays in air.
- Reflective white plastic: Keeps media temperature down under a light, which matters through a long veg.
