The Grodan Gro-Smart Tray 78 Empty Plugs is a reusable, double-sided propagation tray designed to organize rockwool plugs and blocks. It features 78 cells, an elevated structure to promote drainage, and compatibility with different Grodan formats.

The Grodan Gro-Smart 78 Plugs Tray Empty offers a practical solution for organizing the initial stage of cultivation and working in an orderly manner with rockwool cubes, plugs, Mini-Blocks, and Gro-Blocks.
The reversible design allows you to use one side with 78 individual slots and the other side with a mesh structure, greatly expanding the possibilities of use within propagation systems.
The raised structure keeps the cubes separated from the bottom of the lower tray, facilitating the removal of excess water and promoting better air circulation around the root zone.
With approximate dimensions of 51 x 24 x 5 cm, it fits standard 10 x 20 inch propagation formats.
In addition, it is manufactured to be cleaned and disinfected between cycles, a feature especially interesting for those who regularly use germination trays in indoor growing or self-cultivation projects.
The Grodan Gro-Smart 78 Plugs Tray Empty belongs to the range of propagation solutions developed by Grodan for working with different rockwool formats. The main difference compared to a conventional tray is the double-sided design, which allows you to adapt the support to the type of cube or block used during each stage.
One of the sides incorporates 78 cells prepared to hold plugs of approximately 1.5 inches, including A-OK and Macroplug formats. In common applications, it can also be used with rockwool cubes close to 36 x 36 x 40 mm or equivalent formats, always checking the dimensions of the cube used beforehand.
The opposite side has a mesh-type surface designed to work with plug sheets, Mini-Blocks, and Gro-Blocks. In this way, a single tray can be used for different propagation configurations without the need for a separate support for each format.
Another important element is the elevation of the base. The cubes and blocks are separated from the water that may accumulate in a lower tray, helping to maintain an adequate balance between moisture and oxygenation. This separation also makes it easier for the roots to develop downward without constantly remaining in stagnant water.
The approximate dimensions of 51 cm long, 24 cm wide, and 5 cm high allow the tray to be integrated into numerous propagation setups. The format is especially practical for grow tables, small propagation greenhouses, and areas intended for plant starting.
The Grodan Gro-Smart 78 Plugs Tray Empty is a rigid support designed to organize and hold rockwool cubes and blocks during the early stages of plant development. It is sold empty, without cubes included, allowing you to later select the appropriate rockwool format for each setup.
The term Gro-Smart refers to a tray designed to take advantage of both sides. In one orientation, there are 78 individual positions, while flipping it reveals a surface compatible with larger blocks and sheets.
This configuration is especially useful in setups where different propagation stages are used. The same tray can be used with small plugs at the beginning and later adapted to Mini-Blocks or Gro-Blocks in other work cycles.
The raised design also provides an important advantage over many conventional germination trays. Instead of keeping the base of the rockwool directly resting on accumulated water, the structure leaves space beneath the cubes, promoting drainage and air entry.
Proper aeration of the root zone is important in systems based on rockwool. Permanent excess water can reduce the presence of oxygen around the roots, while a structure with drainage facilitates a more balanced environment.
The ability to clean and disinfect the tray after each cycle is also especially interesting for keeping a more organized workspace. Once each batch is finished, the plant material can be removed, the surface cleaned, and the tray prepared again before the next use.
To use the Grodan Gro-Smart 78 Plugs Tray Empty, the first step is to select the appropriate side according to the rockwool format used. If compatible individual plugs are used, place the side with 78 cells facing up.
Each cube is inserted into the corresponding slot, ensuring it is stable and correctly placed. This distribution maintains uniform separation between the different positions and later facilitates watering, inspection, and handling tasks.
When working with Mini-Blocks, Gro-Blocks, or plug sheets, the mesh side can be used. The structure provides stable support while keeping the bottom elevated above the base of a collection tray.
The Gro-Smart can be placed inside a standard tray of approximately 10 x 20 inches. This combination allows you to collect drainage water and keep the propagation area cleaner. The raised part helps prevent the cubes from remaining directly submerged in the accumulated water.
During use, it is advisable to regularly monitor the moisture level of the rockwool and adjust watering according to environmental conditions, the size of the cubes, and the stage of development. The tray acts as a support and organization system, while watering management should be adapted to each crop.
After completing a cycle, the plugs or blocks can be removed and the tray carefully cleaned. The possibility of reuse makes this model a practical tool for indoor growing setups, propagators, small greenhouses, and self-cultivation projects where several cycles are carried out during the year.
The price of the Grodan Gro-Smart 78 Plugs Tray Empty can be checked directly in our online store. When evaluating this product, it is worth considering the versatility of the double-sided design, the capacity for 78 plugs, and the compatibility with different Grodan rockwool solutions.
Unlike trays designed exclusively for a single format, Gro-Smart allows you to work with both individual plugs and sheets, Mini-Blocks, and Gro-Blocks. This adaptability makes it easy to use the same tray in different configurations and propagation stages.
The reusable manufacturing also allows the product to be used for several cycles as long as cleaning and disinfection are carried out correctly after each use.
