Active Aqua 6" x 6" Square White 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 6" x 6" pot offers roughly double the media capacity of the Active Aqua 5" x 5" white pot — approximately 1.05 gallons versus ½ gallon — making it better suited for plants that need additional root space before their next transplant. The taller 8" profile also supports deeper root development compared to the 7" version.

These pots work with all standard horticultural media including soil, coco coir, perlite blends, and amended mixes. The drainage holes and perimeter slits are sized to retain media particles while allowing free water movement and gas exchange throughout the root zone.

White surfaces reflect radiant energy rather than absorbing it, which prevents the pot walls from acting as a heat sink under high-intensity LEDs or HID fixtures. Keeping substrate temperatures stable reduces root stress and supports healthier microbial activity in the root zone — particularly important during long photoperiods in warm grow environments.

Yes. The heavy-duty plastic construction is designed for multi-cycle use and holds up well to standard grow room sanitation practices. Between cycles, pots can be cleaned with diluted hydrogen peroxide, enzymatic cleaners, or other horticultural sanitizers to prevent pathogen carryover.

The 6" × 6" square footprint aligns with common nursery industry tray formats. We recommend confirming dimensions, especially when pairing these with high-efficiency systems like an Active Aqua 2.0 Infinity Tray, to ensure these pots seat correctly in your existing infrastructure.

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 consistency, particularly when used in conjunction with an Active Aqua 4' x 8' Rolling Bench Trellis Support Kit for optimized facility-wide workflow.
