Botanicare ID 4x4 Grow Tray, White | 48 x 48 in Inside, 7 in Deep, 52 gal

Why the Botanicare ID 4x4 Grow Tray Measures From the Inside

ID stands for inside dimension, and on this tray the growing floor itself measures 48 by 48 in. A 4 by 4 ft canopy therefore sits on a full 4 by 4 ft of tray floor. The inside depth is 7.25 in, and the sidewall rises well above the drainage grid for deep pots and heavy root mass. Outside, the tray measures 52 by 52 by 7.375 in. Filled to the rim, the tray holds 52 gallons. The floor uses wide, rounded drainage channels that move water quickly and are easy to scrub. Reinforced corners stiffen the tray so it holds shape when loaded and moved. Botanicare builds it from white ABS plastic with at least 80 percent recycled content. Production takes place in the USA using renewable solar energy. The part number is HGC707090.

Setting Up a 4x4 Plastic Tray on a Bench

A 4x4 plastic tray this deep suits both top feeding and true flood and drain. Plan the stand around the outside size, because the tray is wider than the floor of a standard tent of the same nominal size. Support the full underside so the floor never bows between rails. Pitch the tray a touch toward the drain fitting so the channels empty between irrigations. The deep wall lets a flood cycle rise around larger pots without lapping over the rim. A white surface bounces stray light back up and makes salt crust and algae easy to spot. Size the reservoir larger than the flood volume so the pump never runs dry at the end of a fill. Growers who move loaded trays appreciate the stiff corners, which resist cracking over many cycles. Scrub the channels and rinse the tray between crops. Keep the drain screen clear of root fragments so the tray empties on schedule.
