Hydrofarm Black & White Grow Bag, 5 gal (16 packs of 25)

A Two-Tone Poly Grow Bag with a Write-On Surface, 5 Gal

Tracking which container holds which variety, feeding schedule, or planting date gets difficult fast once a grow room or greenhouse has more than a handful of containers, especially with opaque black pots that give growers nowhere to write. Hydrofarm's black and white grow bag solves that with a white outer surface that takes pen or marker directly, paired with black on the inside to block light from the root zone and reduce algae growth in the growing media.

This 5 gallon bag ships in 16 packs of 25, sized for medium to large potted plants, with pre-punched holes that promote drainage without needing to cut the bag yourself.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size is this grow bag?

This listing is for the 5 gallon Hydrofarm black and white grow bag, sized for medium to large potted plants. It's ready to fill directly from the pack.

How many bags come in this listing?

This listing ships in 16 packs of 25. That packaging is intended for growers outfitting a full bench, row, or production run rather than buying individual bags.

Why is the bag two different colors?

The white outer surface takes pen or marker directly for labeling, while the black inner surface blocks light from the root zone and growing media. That light-blocking helps reduce algae growth compared to a clear or light-colored bag.

Does this bag have drainage?

Yes, it has pre-punched drainage holes. It's ready to fill and use without cutting your own holes into the poly material.

What growing media works in this bag?

It's built to hold standard soil or soilless potting mixes, coco coir, or similar loose growing media. That makes it a general-purpose alternative to a rigid plastic pot.

How do I label this bag?

Write directly on the white outer surface with a permanent marker to note plant variety, planting date, or feeding schedule. The white surface is designed specifically to take marker or pen legibly.
