Botanicare Low Tide Grow Tray - 2ft x 8ft Black

Same-Footprint, Solution-Conserving Design — Botanicare Low Tide Grow Tray 2ft x 8ft

The Botanicare Low Tide Grow Tray is a standalone, single-piece tray built around a diagonal drainage grid that channels runoff toward one low point, helping conserve nutrient solution instead of leaving it pooled across the tray floor. Its same-footprint design means the 2ft x 8ft tray's inside growing surface matches its outside dimensions (92in L x 24in W x 3.75in H), so it fits cleanly into a bench or shelf space sized for its stated dimensions. Constructed in Black ABS plastic, this tray requires no sealant or multi-piece assembly.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does "same-footprint" mean for this tray?

The tray's inside growing surface and outside footprint are the same size, so it drops into a bench or shelf space sized for its stated dimensions without extra clearance to plan around. That's different from trays where the growing surface is noticeably smaller than the outer footprint.

How does the diagonal drainage grid work?

The grid's diagonal channels direct runoff toward a single low point rather than pooling across the tray floor. That helps conserve nutrient solution by directing more of it back toward the drain instead of leaving residual puddles.

Do I need sealant to install this tray?

No. The Low Tide Grow Tray is a standalone, single-piece unit, so it doesn't require Bond Three Sealant or any other seam adhesive the way multi-section tray systems do.

How tall is the tray's sidewall?

This 2ft x 8ft tray has a 3.75in sidewall. Check this figure against your bench or shelving clearance before ordering, alongside the tray's overall footprint.

When should I choose the 2ft x 8ft Low Tide Grow Tray over a different size?

Choose the 2ft x 8ft size when it matches your available bench or floor footprint. Low Tide Grow Trays are available in multiple sizes built on the same diagonal-drainage, same-footprint design, so you can match the size without changing the underlying design.
