Why Choose AUTOPOT Tray2Grow?

Many irrigation systems lock you into a single container size or growing method. Tray2Grow is different. It’s designed to adapt as your grow evolves, allowing you to run everything from early propagation trays to large planters on the same automated platform.

The gravity-fed design removes mechanical failure points, while the AQUAvalve ensures plants only receive water when they’ve used what’s already available. The result is consistent moisture levels, reduced labour, and far less risk of root problems caused by overwatering.

Five Ways to Use Tray2Grow

Tray2Grow supports multiple growing styles in one system:

• Seed trays; accommodates up to four standard seed trays
• Micro herb trays; fits two microgreen trays comfortably
• Bottom-perforated pots or bio pots; ideal for flexible layouts
• Grow bags; use capillary spikes to irrigate directly through the base
• Large planters; supports AutoPot framed fabric planters up to 107.5L

Capillary Spikes & Matting Explained

Tray2Grow includes capillary spikes that pierce the underside of grow bags, delivering water directly into the substrate. This is ideal for grow bags and larger planters where even moisture distribution is critical.

Alternatively, remove the spikes and use the included capillary matting to feed seed trays, smaller pots, or multiple containers simultaneously. This flexibility makes Tray2Grow equally useful in propagation rooms and full grow spaces.

Designed for Stability and Ease of Use

Three inset spirit levels are built directly into the tray, helping you ensure the system is perfectly level for accurate AQUAvalve operation. Guide holes on each side allow the use of garden canes or trellising, making the system suitable for taller plants and structured growth.
