Active Aqua 7" x 7" Square White Pot, 9" Tall – Case of 50

At 1.3 gallons, this pot is well-matched to the mid-vegetative growth stage — after plants have outgrown smaller 5" x 5" propagation containers but before they're ready for their final vessel. The 9" tall profile also supports deeper root development compared to shorter options in the lineup, giving root systems more vertical space as they establish.

The 7" x 7" offers approximately 25% more media capacity than the 6" x 6" white model — 1.3 gallons versus 1.05 gallons — along with an extra inch of height (9" vs. 8"). This makes it the better choice for plants that have established strong early root systems and need additional volume to sustain vigorous mid-veg growth before their next transplant.

These pots are compatible with all common horticultural substrates including soil, coco coir, perlite blends, and amended mixes. The drainage holes and perimeter slits retain media particles while allowing excess water and gases to move freely — making them equally effective in hand-watered and automated submersible water pump irrigation setups.

While dark-colored containers absorb radiant energy from grow lights and transfer that heat into the substrate, the white finish on these pots reflects that energy away. This helps maintain stable substrate temperatures that support healthy root function and beneficial microbial activity during long photoperiods.

Yes. The heavy-duty plastic is designed for multi-cycle use and holds up well to standard grow room sanitation. Between cycles, clean pots with diluted hydrogen peroxide, enzymatic cleaners, or similar horticultural sanitizers to eliminate pathogen and salt residue before reuse.

The 7" × 7" square footprint fits many standard nursery and flood-and-drain tray formats, though cell spacing and insert compatibility vary by tray manufacturer. Confirm your tray's internal dimensions and cell configuration before ordering at volume to ensure a proper fit 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 the 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.
