Seedling Square Pot 8 x 8 cm (10 units) – Biodegradable & Anti-Stress

Meet the Seedling Square Pot 8 x 8 cm (10 units) from Farmer's Choice, the ultimate solution to ensure your plants survive the most critical phase of their life: the first few weeks. These biodegradable containers are designed to house your seedlings or cuttings and be planted directly into the final medium, guaranteeing zero stress and continuous, vigorous growth from day one.

Do you panic when it's time to transplant?

Let's be honest: the moment of moving a small plant from its first cup to a larger pot is terrifying. You're always worried about the root ball crumbling in your hands, breaking a main root, or the plant stalling for days due to the change in environment. It's that feeling of "winging it" that keeps many growers up at night.

This uncertainty turns into stunted growth, yellowing leaves, or in the worst case, the loss of expensive genetics that you pampered for weeks. That "transplant shock" can delay your harvest by days or weeks, affecting the final production and wasting your time and resources.

The solution is simple: don't remove the pot. With these biodegradable square pots, the container becomes part of the substrate. You simply place the whole thing into the new soil, and the roots grow through the walls naturally. You gain total control over the process, eliminating the risk of human error and ensuring that the plant doesn't even realize it has been moved.

Why these pots are a Game Changer for your roots

• Zero Transplant Shock: Since you don't have to remove the plant from the pot, the roots suffer absolutely no damage. This means immediate growth after transplanting.
• Natural Air Pruning: Unlike plastic, this porous material allows roots to penetrate the wall. When they hit the air, they stop growing outward and branch internally, creating a much denser and healthier root system.
• Perfect Aeration: The wood fiber and lime composition ensures that the Soil For Cannabis inside breathes correctly, preventing rot and fungi.
• Space Optimization: Their square 8x8 cm design allows you to fit more plants in your Grow Trays without wasting a single millimeter of space, unlike round cups.
• Ideal pH Balance: The addition of lime in the material helps buffer the pH, creating a friendly environment for the delicate roots of your seedlings.

How to use them for professional results

Using these pots is the easiest way to professionalize your Cloning or germination process. Follow these steps to ensure success:

1. Fill: Fill the pots with a light, airy substrate suitable for seedlings. Do not compress the soil too much.
2. Sow/Cut: Place your seed or fresh cutting in the center. If it's a cutting, use rooting hormones for faster results.
3. Moisturize: Water gently. The pot will absorb moisture and turn a darker color; this helps you visually know if the medium is humid enough.
4. Wait: Let the roots colonize the substrate. You will see white root tips starting to poke through the pot walls.
5. Plant: Dig a hole in your final pot or outdoor soil and bury the entire biodegradable pot. Cover with soil and water. Done!

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does the pot take to decompose?

It depends on the humidity and biological activity of your soil, but generally, once buried, it degrades quickly enough for the roots to expand without restriction, completely disappearing over the course of the grow cycle.

Can I use them in hydroponic systems?

They are designed primarily for soil or coco coir. In pure hydroponic systems (like DWC), organic material might clog pumps or filters as it degrades, so it is not recommended.

Do I need to break the bottom before planting?

No, it is not necessary. The material is porous and soft enough for the taproot to pierce through without effort. However, if you want to be extra sure, you can gently tear the bottom, but be careful not to damage the roots.

Personal Experience of Pevgrow’s CEO (Alan)

I used to use small plastic cups for my seedlings, and honestly, transplant day was always a headache. I've lost some very special phenotypes just because the root ball fell apart in my hands. Since I switched to these biodegradable pots, that stress has disappeared.

My trick is to keep them moist but not soaked. I love seeing the roots start to poke through the sides; that's the signal that they are ready for the big pot. I literally bury them and forget about it. The plants don't stop growing for a single second. For me, they are essential if you value your time and your genetics.
