104 Cell Extraction Tray – Plugin Pro Compatible · Safe Clone Transplanting

The 104 Cell Extraction Tray is a heavy-duty, precision-engineered tool designed to simultaneously push out all your rooted cuttings from a Plugin Pro 104 tray, guaranteeing a lightning-fast transplant process with absolutely zero root damage.

Before you get your hands on this gear, transplanting day is usually a tedious chore. You find yourself pinching the bottom of individual cells, gently tugging at fragile stems, and praying the root ball comes out intact.

It’s a stressful vibe. Every time a root snaps or a plug crumbles, your plant suffers transplant shock, stalling its growth for days. Not to mention, repeating this delicate surgery 104 times drains your energy and wastes valuable hours in the grow room.

The 104 Cell Extraction Tray completely flips the script. By perfectly aligning with the bottom of your Plugin Pro 104, it pushes every single plug out smoothly in one effortless motion. Your roots stay pristine, your plants transition flawlessly, and you finish the job in seconds.

Before extracting your clones with this tray

Before you start popping plugs, you need to make sure your babies are actually ready for the big move. Check the bottom of your cloning setup to ensure healthy, white roots are visibly poking through. You also want to have your next growing medium fully prepped and hydrated so the roots aren't exposed to the air for too long.

• Wait until the root system is well-developed to prevent the peat or coco plug from falling apart.
• Prepare your planters with the new substrate beforehand so the transition is immediate.
• Let the plugs dry out just a tiny bit; soggy plugs are heavier and messier to extract.
• Ensure your extraction tray is clean and sterilized to avoid passing any pathogens to the fresh roots.

During the extraction process

When it's time for action, the process is incredibly satisfying. You simply place the 104 Cell Extraction Tray on a flat, stable surface. Then, take your Plugin Pro 104 tray full of rooted cuttings and align it directly over the extraction pegs.

Apply a gentle, even downward pressure on the sides of the grow tray. You’ll feel a smooth glide as the 104 pegs push perfectly against the bottom of each cell. Instantly, all 104 plugs will pop up simultaneously, sitting neatly in their cells but completely detached from the walls.

There’s no pulling, no tearing, and no stress. You can now easily pick up each clone by the plug itself—never the stem—and drop it straight into its new home. It’s a game-changer for maintaining the structural integrity of your root zone.

After transplanting: results and maintenance

Once the transplant is done, the immediate result is zero transplant shock. Because the roots were never squeezed or torn, your plants will continue their vegetative growth without skipping a beat. You'll notice they adapt to their new environment much faster than manually extracted clones.

As for the tray itself, maintenance is a breeze. Since it’s made from durable, high-quality plastic, you just need to hose it down or wipe it with a mild sterilizing solution. Let it dry, and it’s ready to be stored with your other grow trays until your next batch of cuttings is ready.

Short- and long-term advantages and benefits

• Simultaneous extraction: Because it pushes out 104 cells at once, you save hours of tedious manual labor, which means more time to chill and enjoy your grow.

• Ergonomic design: Because it requires only a gentle downward push, you avoid hand fatigue, making large-scale transplanting a comfortable experience.
• Exclusive compatibility: Designed specifically for the Plugin Pro 104, it guarantees a flawless fit, meaning no jammed plugs or uneven extractions.
• Extreme durability: Built with tough, rigid materials, it withstands heavy use cycle after cycle, saving you money on replacement gear in the long run.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the 104 Cell Extraction Tray reusable?

Absolutely. It is made from heavy-duty, rigid plastic designed to withstand hundreds of extraction cycles without losing its shape or effectiveness.

Can I use this extraction tray with any 104-cell tray?

No, this specific extraction plate is precision-engineered exclusively for the Plugin Pro 104 tray. Using it with other brands might result in misalignment and damage to your plugs.

Should the plugs be wet or dry before extraction?

It's best to extract them when they are moist but not soaking wet. A slightly drier plug holds its shape better and pops out cleaner than a completely saturated one.

How do I clean the extraction tray?

Simply wash it with warm water and a mild soap or a specialized grow room cleaner. Make sure to dry it completely before storing it to prevent any mold or bacteria buildup.

Personal Experience of Pevgrow’s CEO (Alan)

I remember the days of using a pencil or a chopstick to poke clones out of their cells one by one. It was a nightmare, and I always ended up snapping a few precious roots. When I first tested the 104 Cell Extraction Tray with the Plugin Pro system, it honestly blew my mind. The 'pop' of 104 perfect root balls emerging at the exact same time is one of the most satisfying things in the grow room.

My personal trick? I always let the tray dry out for about 12 hours before extraction. If the coco or peat is too wet, it can smear against the plastic. When it's just slightly moist, the plugs slide out like butter. I also keep a spray bottle with a very light mycorrhizae solution handy; as soon as the plugs pop up, I give the exposed roots a quick mist before dropping them into their new pots. This tray isn't just a luxury; if you're running multiple lights or doing sea of green (SOG), it's an absolute necessity for keeping your sanity and your genetics intact.
