AC Infinity 2-Inch Mesh Net Cups, Slotted Pots with Wide Lips - 50-Pack, BPA-Free

AC Infinity 2-Inch Net Cups for Clones and Seedlings

These small slotted cups hold a plant upright while its roots grow out into water, mist or a nutrient film. Each one measures 1.96 x 2.59 in and is molded from black polypropylene. The plastic is BPA-free, food-grade safe and UV-resistant, so it holds up through repeated crops. Slots run around the sides and through the base, giving roots plenty of exits. Inside, raised ribs steer young roots toward those openings instead of letting them circle. Once roots pass through, water and nutrients reach them directly and drainage stays even. A solid band of plastic below the rim acts as a light shield. Blocking light at the root zone helps keep algae down and reduces the risk of root rot. The wide lip hangs the cup in a round hole on a raft lid, NFT channel or tray. It can also rest across the mouth of a jar for a single-plant setup. A raised bottom lets each cup stand on its own on a flat bench. Fifty cups come in the pack, enough to fill a full propagation lid or a run of channels.

Starting Clones and Seedlings in Slotted Mesh Pots

A cup this size suits the earliest stage of a plant's life. Drop a rockwool starter cube or a small plug into each one, then fill around it with clay pebbles. The pebbles anchor the plug and keep it from tipping as the stem lengthens. Cut the lid holes so the lip rests flat, with no gap for light to leak through. In a cloner or aeroponic manifold, the cups seat cuttings above the spray. In an NFT channel, set the base just into the film so the plug wicks moisture. Lettuce, basil and other leafy greens can finish their whole life in a cup this size. Larger plants move up to a bigger container once roots spill well out of the slots. Pumice and lava rock also work in place of clay pebbles. A soil-based mix can be used too, for growers starting plants that will move to soil later. Between crops, soak the cups and scrub out old root mats with a stiff brush. A dip in a sanitizing solution readies them for the next run. Store the clean cups dry, in a closed bin, until the next crop.
