Active Aqua 6" x 6" Square Black Pot, 8" Tall – Case of 50

At 1.05 gallons, this pot is ideally sized for seedlings transitioning out of propagation trays and into early vegetative growth. It provides enough root volume for healthy early-stage development before plants are moved to a larger container for mid-to-late veg and flowering.

The black and white versions share the same dimensions, drainage design, and construction quality — the difference is purely the exterior finish. Black pots absorb more radiant heat from grow lights, which can slightly elevate substrate temperatures. The Active Aqua 6x6 Square White Pot reflects heat away from the pot walls and is the better choice for high-intensity lighting setups where substrate temperature management is a priority.

These pots are compatible with all standard horticultural substrates including soil, coco coir, perlite blends, and amended mixes. The drainage holes and perimeter slits retain media particles while allowing water and gases to move freely — performing equally well in hand-watered and automated drip irrigation setups.

Yes. The heavy-duty plastic construction is designed for multi-cycle use and handles standard horticultural sanitation without degrading. Between runs, clean pots with diluted hydrogen peroxide, citric acid solutions, or enzymatic cleaners to remove salt buildup and eliminate potential pathogen carryover before reuse.

The 6" × 6" square footprint aligns with common nursery industry tray formats. Confirm your tray's internal dimensions—such as those found on an Active Aqua 2.0 Infinity Tray—and cell spacing before ordering in bulk to ensure these pots seat correctly across your benches.

The raised bottom elevates the pot's drainage outlets above the tray floor, preventing pots from sitting in standing runoff water after irrigation. This keeps drainage holes fully functional, allows air to circulate beneath the container, and reduces the risk of anaerobic conditions developing at the base of the root zone between watering cycles.

For smaller commercial or large hobby operations, a single case of 50 can cover one full propagation-to-veg bench run. Larger facilities running continuous cycles typically stock multiple cases to maintain consistent container availability across staggered harvest schedules — uniform sizing across all units simplifies spacing, automation, and bench organization throughout the facility.
