The HC Companies Squat Pot | 1gal Trade - Squat - Black - Coex (Case of 140)

Full Gallon Volume, Reduced Vertical Clearance, 1gal Trade

Bench and truck space is often limited by pot height rather than volume, especially when shipping finished plants or fitting extra rows under grow lights. The HC Companies Squat Pot delivers a full 1-gallon trade capacity in a shorter, wider profile that trims vertical clearance without shrinking root room.

At 1-gallon trade size in a squat, coex-constructed black container, this pot suits vegetative and near-finishing plants that need full root volume but limited overhead clearance. It's built for growers optimizing bench height or transport space at commercial scale, sold in cases of 140.

Key Features & Benefits

• Squat 1-gallon trade profile — delivers full-gallon root volume in a shorter container, freeing overhead clearance under lights or shelving.
• Coex (co-extruded) construction — layered plastic construction adds rigidity and durability over single-layer molding.
• Wider stable base — shorter height improves stability on benches and during transport compared to taller pots of the same volume.
• Black finish — standard commercial color that blends with most bench and greenhouse environments.
• Case of 140 — matched to commercial-scale vegetative and finishing repotting cycles.

Who Should Use The HC Companies Squat Pot

Growers with limited vertical clearance under lights, shelving, or during transport who still need full 1-gallon root volume, including commercial greenhouse and multi-tier grow operations.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does 'squat' mean for this pot's dimensions?

It carries the same 1-gallon trade volume as a standard round gallon pot but in a shorter, wider profile, trimming vertical clearance needed under lights or shelving.

What is coex construction and why does it matter?

Coex, or co-extruded, plastic layers two material formulations in one wall, adding rigidity and impact resistance compared to a single-layer molded pot.

What size plants suit a 1-gallon squat pot?

This size fits vegetative and near-finishing plants that need full-gallon root volume but are grown under height-limited conditions such as multi-tier racks.

Does the shorter height reduce root room compared to a standard gallon pot?

No, the squat profile trades height for width to preserve the same 1-gallon volume, so root room is comparable to a standard round gallon container.

Is this pot suitable for hydroponic vegetative growth?

Yes, the rigid coex construction and drainage-ready design work as a media container in hydroponic vegetative setups as well as traditional soil growing.
