Jiffy Cell Tray 60, 84 or 104 Holes – Reusable Seed Starter & Cloning Tray

The Tray of 60, 84 or 104 Jiffy Cells (No Pellets) is a heavy-duty, reusable plastic organizer designed to hold your 33mm peat or coco plugs perfectly upright, guaranteeing flawless drainage and maximizing the space in your propagator for massive cloning success.

When you settle for flimsy, single-use germination trays or just throw your pellets randomly into a tupperware, you are setting yourself up for failure. Cheap plastics crack under the slightest pressure, and poor drainage leaves your plugs sitting in stagnant water, which inevitably leads to root rot, dead seeds, and a frustrating waste of expensive genetics.

There is nothing worse than spending good money on premium seeds or taking the time to cut perfect clones, only to watch them damp off and die because your setup couldn't handle basic moisture control. Every failed seedling is money down the drain, and constantly replacing cracked, low-quality trays every single crop cycle quietly eats away at your growing budget.

This Jiffy Cell Tray puts an end to the cycle of waste by offering a durable, perfectly measured grid that balances quality, longevity, and top-tier performance. By keeping each pellet elevated and properly drained, it ensures your roots get the exact oxygen-to-water ratio they need, paying for itself time and time again through higher survival rates and years of reliable use.

How this cloning tray upgrades your daily grow routine

Upgrading to a structured cell tray completely transforms how you handle the most delicate phase of your grow. Instead of dealing with a chaotic mess of tipping pellets, you get a perfectly aligned grid that makes watering, inspecting, and transporting your future heavy yielders an absolute breeze. This means fewer accidents, zero knocked-over clones, and a much smoother workflow.

Beyond just keeping things tidy, this tray acts as a life insurance policy for your roots. The slotted bottom design ensures that excess water escapes instantly, preventing the dreaded soggy bottoms that suffocate young taproots. You will notice a much more consistent growth rate across the board, meaning your entire batch will be ready to transplant at the exact same time.

Plus, its standard 500x300mm footprint is specifically tailored to slide right into most standard cloning propagators. You are maximizing every square inch of your indoor setup, allowing you to root up to 104 plants in a remarkably compact space without sacrificing airflow or light penetration.

Format, lifespan, and efficiency of your Jiffy tray

Built to withstand the humid, demanding environment of a grow room, this tray is all about long-term efficiency. Here is exactly what you are working with and how to keep it in rotation for years:

• Format options: Choose between 60, 84, or 104 perfectly sized holes, all designed to snugly fit standard 33mm swollen Jiffy pellets.
• Space optimization: Measuring 500x300mm, it allows you to pack a massive amount of genetics into a single standard propagator.
• Lifespan factors: Made from flexible yet durable plastic, its longevity depends on gentle handling during transplanting and keeping it out of direct, scorching HID light when empty.
• Maximum efficiency: To get the most out of it, always pre-soak and gently squeeze your pellets before inserting them into the cells to avoid warping the plastic with expanding peat.
• Waste prevention: The individual cell separation prevents roots from tangling with neighboring plants, ensuring zero root-tear shock when it's time to move them to their final pots.

Advantages and benefits for your wallet and yield

Let's break down exactly why this tray is a smart investment using the FAB (Features, Advantages, Benefits) method:

• Because it features slotted drainage holes at the bottom of each cell, you can prevent water from pooling around the base of the plug, which means you save money by eliminating root rot and seedling death.
• Because it is made from reusable, semi-flexible plastic, you can wash and reuse it for dozens of crop cycles, which means you stop wasting your budget on disposable trays every few months.
• Because it offers high-density configurations (up to 104 holes), you can root more plants in the exact same footprint, which means you maximize the profitability of your grow tent's electricity and lighting.
• Because it provides individual structural support for each 33mm pellet, you can keep your clones perfectly upright and evenly spaced, which means you enjoy a stress-free, organized grow where every plant gets equal light.
• Because it has a standardized 500x300mm dimension, you can fit it seamlessly into standard greenhouse domes, which means you don't have to buy custom or expensive proprietary propagation equipment.

Tricks to get the most out of it without overspending

You don't need to buy fancy cleaning solutions or expensive accessories to make this tray last a lifetime. The secret to extreme profitability is simple maintenance and smart handling. When you pull a rooted clone out, push gently from the bottom hole rather than yanking the plant from the top; this protects both your delicate roots and the plastic cell.

Between runs, a quick soak in a mild bleach or hydrogen peroxide solution is all it takes to sterilize the surface and prep it for the next batch.

• Custom sizing: If you have a smaller propagator, you can easily use heavy-duty scissors to cut the tray down to your exact required dimensions without ruining its structural integrity.
• Bottom feeding: Use a flat grow tray underneath this cell tray to catch runoff, or to practice highly efficient bottom-watering once the roots start poking through the mesh.
• Skip the pellets: While designed for Jiffys, you can also line the cells with a pinch of marijuana growing soil or coco coir if you run out of plugs in a pinch.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does this Jiffy tray actually last?

With proper care, gentle handling during transplants, and regular cleaning, this tray can easily last for several years and dozens of growing cycles, making its cost-per-use practically zero.

Is it worth buying the 104-hole version if I only grow a few plants?

If you only grow 3 or 4 plants at a time, the 60-hole version is more than enough. However, the 104-hole tray is incredibly cheap, and you can always cut it into smaller sections to fit multiple mini-propagators, giving you great bang for your buck.

Do I need to buy a specific brand of pellets for this to work?

Not at all! While it's optimized for standard 33mm Jiffy peat or coco pellets, any brand of 33mm expanding plug will fit perfectly into these cells.

How does using this tray affect my overall profitability?

By drastically reducing seedling mortality rates through better drainage and preventing root tangling, you ensure that nearly 100% of your expensive seeds or clones make it to the vegetative stage, maximizing your final harvest potential.

Personal Experience of Pevgrow’s CEO (Alan)

When it comes to what you get for what you pay, this simple piece of plastic is honestly one of the best micro-investments you can make for your grow room. I used to lose a frustrating amount of clones simply because they would tip over in a flat tray or sit in a puddle of runoff. Since I started using these specific cell trays, my rooting success rate shot up to near 100%. It’s a total bargain when you realize it saves you from losing a 10-euro seed to dampening off.

My personal tip? I always go for the 104-hole version, even if I’m not doing a massive pheno hunt. I just take a pair of sturdy scissors and cut the tray into smaller blocks of 12 or 24 cells. This way, I can spread them across different small propagators or share a piece with a buddy. Just remember to wash them with a bit of hydrogen peroxide after every run, and they will literally last you for years.
