Botanicare Gutter Tray Mid Tray - Black

More Airflow, Integrated Irrigation — Botanicare Gutter Tray Mid Section

The Botanicare Gutter Tray is built for growers who want better airflow and cleaner irrigation management from their tray system. Gaps between tray sections deliver what Botanicare states is 23% more airflow compared to its OG Trays, while integrated irrigation accessories keep lines organized and off the floor. The Mid Gutter Tray is the middle extension component of the modular Gutter Tray system, used to build out run length between the Drain and End sections. Made from heavy-gauge ABS plastic that resists bowing, cracking, and leaking.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Gutter Tray achieve more airflow than OG Trays?

The Gutter Tray design builds in intentional gaps between tray sections. Botanicare states this delivers 23% more airflow than its OG Trays, letting air circulate beneath the canopy for improved root zone conditions compared to solid-surface tray systems.

What are the integrated irrigation accessories?

Gutter Trays include built-in clips and channels that route and secure irrigation lines within the tray structure. That keeps your system organized without needing separate hardware.

How do I build a custom-length run with Gutter Trays?

Start with one Drain Tray as your outlet, add as many Mid Trays as needed to reach your target length, and finish the run with an End Tray sized to your remaining distance. The modular system snaps together to any practical length this way.

Is this Mid Tray compatible with Botanicare's Manifold Kits?

Yes. Botanicare offers 3-Drain and 4-Drain Gutter Tray Manifold Kits designed to work with the Gutter Tray Drain component, sized for 4ft and 5ft table configurations respectively.

When would I choose Gutter Trays over Botanicare's OG or CT Tray systems?

Choose Gutter Trays when airflow under the canopy is a priority, since the tray gaps and integrated irrigation clips are built specifically for that. If you don't need the extra airflow, the OG or CT Tray systems remain simpler, solid-surface alternatives — just don't mix components across the three lines, since they aren't cross-compatible.
