Coconut Plugins Tray – Secure Rooting for Cuttings & Seeds

The Coconut Plugins Tray is the professional standard you need to safely root cuttings and germinate seeds, offering a pre-filled, optimized environment that guarantees the survival of your future harvest. Whether you are working with a massive selection of clones or starting your season from seeds, this tray acts as a high-performance incubator, designed to fit perfectly into standard propagators and ensure your plants develop a robust root system from day one.

Why you need this tray in your life (PAS)

Problem: We've all been there—you take a perfect cutting from your favorite mother plant or pop an expensive seed, only to watch it rot, dry out, or suffer from "transplant shock" because the soil was too hot or the handling was too rough. Losing genetics at this early stage is frustrating and a waste of money.

Agitation: If the roots don't establish quickly and healthily, the plant will lag behind for its entire life cycle. Using random cups or heavy soils often leads to overwatering or nutrient burn, killing your "babies" before they even have a chance to grow. Do you really want to risk your crop right at the starting line?

Solution: The Coconut Plugins Tray eliminates these risks. By using individual alveoli filled with inert peat, it provides the exact air-to-water ratio young roots crave. It prevents overfeeding, protects the delicate root zone, and makes transplanting as easy as pushing a button. It’s the insurance policy your grow room deserves.

The ultimate nursery for your genetics

This tray isn't just a piece of plastic; it's a complete system. The plugs are made of a sponge-like mixture of peat and coco coir that maintains humidity while allowing oxygen to flow freely. This is crucial because, as you know, roots need to breathe to grow.

Since the substrate is inert, you have total control. You don't have to worry about burning sensitive seedlings with pre-fertilized soil. You decide when and what to feed them, usually starting with a mild root stimulator once they settle in. Plus, the design fits seamlessly into most Grow Trays and propagators, keeping humidity high without the mess.

Key features and benefits in a nutshell

• Pre-filled Convenience: Comes ready to use with the perfect substrate mix, saving you time and mess.
• Inert Substrate: Prevents nutrient burn (overfeeding), giving you full control over the diet of your young plants.
• Optimal Aeration: The peat/coco texture ensures roots don't drown, promoting faster and whiter root development.
• Easy Extraction: Designed so you can push from the bottom to pop the plug out without damaging a single root hair.
• Two Sizes Available: Choose the 104-alveolus (52 x 29 cm) for standard setups or the 150-alveolus (52 x 31 cm) for maximizing space in smaller propagators.

How to use it in a few steps

Using the Coconut Plugins Tray is incredibly intuitive, even if it's your first time Cloning or popping seeds. Just follow this simple flow:

1. Hydrate: Lightly water the tray. The plugs should be moist but not soaking wet (squeeze one; it should drip only a little).
2. Insert: Place your seed or freshly cut clone into the pre-made hole in the center of the plug. If cloning, use a rooting gel beforehand.
3. Incubate: Place the tray inside a propagator to maintain high humidity (around 80-90% for cuttings).
4. Transplant: Once you see white roots poking out of the bottom or the plant is about 10 cm (4 inches) tall, gently push the plug from underneath and move it to its final pot with Soil For Cannabis.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to add fertilizer right away?

No. The substrate is inert to protect young roots. You should only start applying very mild fertilizers (preferably foliar or root stimulators) once the plant has established itself, usually after the first week or when roots are visible.

Can I reuse the plugs?

No, the plugs are designed for single use. Once the roots penetrate the spongey material, you transplant the whole plug into the new medium. Reusing them would damage the roots and invite pathogens.

Which model fits my propagator?

The 104-plug version (52 x 29 cm) fits most standard medium-sized propagators. The 150-plug version (52 x 31 cm) is slightly wider, so check your propagator's dimensions to ensure a snug fit.

Can I transplant directly into soil or hydro?

Yes! These plugs are versatile. You can drop them into a pot with soil, coco coir, or even into a hydroponic system with clay pebbles. The plug holds the root ball together, reducing shock in any medium.

Personal Experience of Pevgrow’s CEO (Alan)

Honestly, I stopped filling small pots with soil for cuttings years ago. It's messy, inconsistent, and takes forever. With these Coconut Plugins Trays, I just hydrate, stick the cuts in, and forget about it for a few days. The success rate is practically 100% because the moisture level stays so consistent.

What I love most is the transplant moment. You know that scary feeling when you try to unpot a small plant and the soil crumbles, exposing the roots? That doesn't happen here. You just pop the plug out like an ice cube and drop it into the big pot. The plants don't even realize they've been moved, and they start growing again immediately.
