OASIS HORTICUBES Aeromax 2.0 Multi Seed | 276ct

Airflow-Engineered Hydroponic Substrate for the Root Zone, 276ct

Root zones that stay saturated without enough airflow are prone to oxygen deficiency, which slows root development even when moisture and nutrients are otherwise adequate. OASIS HORTICUBES Aeromax 2.0 Multi Seed is engineered as a precision hydroponic substrate specifically to increase airflow and improve the opportunity for oxygen to reach the root zone.

This 276ct sheet is sized for multi-seed hydroponic propagation setups, packing a higher cell count into the sheet than Smithers-Oasis's first-generation Aeromax format.

Key Features & Benefits

• Engineered for Precision Hydroponic Use — built specifically for controlled hydroponic propagation environments.
• Increased Airflow to the Root Zone — reduces the risk of oxygen deficiency compared to a denser substrate.
• 276ct Multi-Seed Sheet — a higher cell count sized for multi-seed hydroponic propagation.
• Second-Generation Aeromax Format — an updated substrate design distinct from the original Aeromax Top Groove line.

Who Should Use This Substrate

This substrate fits hydroponic growers running precision propagation setups who need reliable airflow to the root zone at a higher cell density than the original Aeromax Top Groove format offers.

About Smithers-Oasis

Smithers-Oasis, founded in 1954, engineers its Aeromax 2.0 substrate through its Oasis Grower Solutions division, based in Kent, Ohio with more than 55 years of horticultural media development across 19-plus countries. Aeromax 2.0 represents an updated substrate generation built around airflow and oxygen delivery specifically.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Aeromax 2.0 different from the original Aeromax substrate?

Aeromax 2.0 is engineered more specifically around airflow and oxygen delivery to the root zone, packed into a higher 276ct cell count. The original Aeromax Top Groove format instead emphasizes a fine-cell design for uniform moisture across overhead and subirrigation setups.

Why does airflow to the root zone matter?

Roots need oxygen as well as water and nutrients, and a substrate that stays saturated without enough air exchange can leave roots oxygen-deficient even when moisture levels look adequate. Improved airflow helps prevent that deficiency from slowing root development.

Is this substrate suited to manual or automated propagation?

It's built as a precision hydroponic substrate for controlled propagation environments, which commonly means automated or semi-automated seeding lines at this cell density. It can also be sown by hand when an automated line isn't available.

How many seed sites does this sheet provide?

This sheet is a 276ct format, meaning 276 individual multi-seed cells per sheet. That's a meaningfully higher cell count than Smithers-Oasis's 162ct Aeromax Top Groove sheet.
