Single Shelf for Hydrofarm 3-Shelf + 6-Shelf Vertical Grow Shelf Systems

Hydrofarm Vertical Grow Shelf Single Shelf, VGS200

Multi-tier racks earn their floor space by stacking trays of seedlings, clones and greens under strip lights. Hydrofarm built the VGS300 and VGS600 systems with shelves that move to custom heights. This VGS200 is the single shelf that fits those frames. It lets a grower add a tier or swap out one that has been bent or damaged. The shelf measures 48.5 inches wide, 15.75 inches deep and 1.25 inches high. It weighs 12 pounds and carries a powder-coated finish for durability. That coating stands up to the water and nutrient splashes that come with tray work. Four large mounting screws come in the box to fix it to the uprights. Setting a shelf at a new height changes how much room plants get under each light. A low gap suits flats of seedlings, while taller crops need the shelf moved down. Clones under T5 tubes or LED strips can stay close to the light without stretching.

Adding a Tier to Hydroponic Shelving

Unload trays and switch off any lights on the rack before making changes. Decide on the new spacing based on crop height and the fixture above each tier. Hold the shelf level against the upright frames at the chosen height. Fasten the shelf to the frame with the four supplied mounting screws. Tighten them evenly so the shelf sits flat with no rocking. Set a level across the surface before loading it. Check that trays drain toward the edge you prefer for cleanup. Leave room above the canopy for the light fixture and its hanging hardware. Spread weight evenly across the shelf rather than piling it at one end. Wipe the shelf clean between crop cycles to keep algae and salt off the coating.
