Pairs well with
The white 23L grated crop box is the shallow, light-reflecting member of the crop box family. Same 58 × 41cm footprint as the rest of the range, but in white — runs cooler in direct sun, makes it easier to see root health and medium moisture inside, and pairs with any solid base in the range. Perfect for propagation trays, clone stations, and benchtop DWC builds where headroom is tight.
Specifications
- Outdoor setups in full sun — white stays measurably cooler than black, easing root zone heat stress in summer.
- Visual monitoring — easier to spot root browning, mould, or pests against a white interior.
- Clean grow rooms — white pairs better with reflective walls and lighter aesthetic builds.
- Mix and match — the footprint is identical to black, so a white grated tub fits any 23L solid base in the range.
- Keep it clean — white shows nutrient staining more than black, so a wipe-down between grows keeps it looking sharp.

FAQ
Why pick white over black?
White reflects heat and light, so it stays measurably cooler in direct sun — handy for outdoor setups or warm grow rooms. The lighter interior also makes it easier to spot root health, medium moisture, and any pest issues at a glance. Functionally identical to the black version.
Will it fit black crop box tubs?
Yes. Same 58 × 41cm footprint as every tub in the range. Mix and match colours freely — a white grated tub on a black solid base works exactly the same as a colour-matched pair.
Why only 23L for white?
The white grated tub is currently available in the 23L shallow size only. For 45L or 65L grated tubs, the black equivalents cover those sizes.
Does white show stains more than black?
Yes. Nutrient staining, algae build-up, and water marks all show up more visibly on white plastic. A quick wipe-down between grows with mild detergent or diluted hydrogen peroxide keeps it looking sharp.
Will it yellow in direct sun?
No. The UV-stable plastic resists yellowing, warping, and cracking under direct sun, so the white stays clean and bright through years of outdoor use.
What can I use the 23L grated tub for besides DWC?
The shallow 12cm depth makes it ideal for propagation trays, seedling stations, cloning, harvest sorting, or rinsing roots after pulling plants. Anywhere you need drainage with a contained footprint.
