Inside Dimension Is the Whole Argument for the Botanicare ID 4x4 Grow Tray
Tray sizes lie constantly, and ID is Botanicare answering that. The inside floor here is a true 48 in x 48 in. A 4x4 canopy sits on a full 4x4 of tray, with nothing lost to the sidewalls. Sidewall depth is 7 in measured from the top of the drainage grid, and capacity runs 52 gallons. That depth is not decoration. It lets you flood two or three inches around a pot without the tray brimming. It also gives a heavy late-flower root mass somewhere to sit.
Where This 4x4 Plastic Tray Actually Fits
Check the outside number before anything else. This tray measures 53 in x 53 in x 7 in outside, so it will not go inside a 4x4 tent. It belongs on a bench, a stand, or a table where the extra five inches per side are free. Growers who need a tray inside a 4x4 tent want the OD black tray, which is cut to 48 in outside for exactly that reason. Construction is recycled and recyclable ABS: a 70% recycled core under a virgin UV-resistant cap. Corner gussets are re-engineered so a loaded tray does not flex when you slide it. The drainage channels are rounded and wider, which you notice most on cleaning day. Flanged edge, square drainage grid, BPA free, made in the USA on solar power. Between runs the flanged edge gives you a grip point on all four sides, which a rolled-edge tray does not.
Key Features
- True 48 in x 48 in inside floor: A 4x4 canopy sits on a real 4x4 of tray, nothing lost to sidewall thickness.
- 7 in sidewall depth: Room to flood two or three inches around a pot, and room for a heavy late-flower root mass.
- 52 gallon capacity: Enough volume to run a genuine flood-and-drain cycle instead of shallow catchment.
- 70% recycled ABS under a UV-resistant cap: Recycled core with a virgin outer layer that holds its surface under grow light and scrubbing.
- Rounded channels and reinforced corner gussets: Faster to clean between runs, with corners that resist flex under a loaded tray.
