Cut Kit Tray, White, 11" x 21"

Dedicated Staging Surface for Clone Prep, 11 in x 21 in

Taking cuttings on a standard propagation tray or open bench spreads trimmings, rooting gel, and tools across a workspace not built to contain them. The Cut Kit Tray gives growers a solid, no-drain-hole surface sized specifically for staging cuttings and tools during clone prep before they move to a rooting tray.

At 11in x 21in, this tray is larger than a standard 1020 propagation tray, giving growers processing bigger cutting batches enough surface area to organize blades, dip cups, and prepared cuttings in one place.

Key Features & Benefits

• Solid base, no drain holes — contains trimmings and liquids on the work surface instead of draining through like a propagation tray.
• 11in x 21in surface area — larger than a standard 1020 tray, suited to processing bigger cutting batches at once.
• White finish — shows plant debris and residue clearly for easier cleaning between batches.
• Flat, stable work surface — keeps blades, dip cups, and prepared cuttings organized during clone prep.
• Reusable across cutting sessions — cleans and sanitizes between batches rather than requiring disposal.

Who Should Use The Cut Kit Tray

Growers and propagation crews taking cuttings in volume who need a dedicated staging surface separate from their rooting trays, from home growers to commercial propagation operations.

About Hydrofarm Cut Kit Trays

Hydrofarm manufactures the Cut Kit Tray as a purpose-built surface for the clone-taking step of propagation, distinct from the drain-hole trays used once cuttings move into a rooting medium; growers often pair it with a mesh insert for mess-free cube draining.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is a cut kit tray different from a standard 1020 propagation tray?

A standard 1020 tray has drain holes and is meant to hold pots or rooting medium, while a cut kit tray has a solid base built to stage cuttings, blades, and rooting gel during clone prep before cuttings move to a rooting tray.

Why choose an 11in x 21in tray over a standard 1020 size?

The larger surface area suits growers processing bigger cutting batches at once, giving more room to organize tools and prepared cuttings without crowding.

Does the white color matter for function?

White makes plant debris, resin, and residue easier to spot for thorough cleaning between cutting sessions, which matters for sanitation in disease-sensitive propagation work.

Can this tray be sanitized between uses?

Yes, the solid plastic surface cleans and sanitizes easily between cutting sessions, which is important for reducing pathogen transfer between plant batches.

Is this tray used for rooting cuttings or just prep?

It's designed for the prep and staging step before cuttings move to a dedicated rooting tray or dome setup, not for holding rooting medium itself.
