Why Growers Choose Avee Open Top Bags

Pre-Filled. Ready to Plant. No Pot Needed.

No Pot

No-Pot System — Place, Water, Plant

Open top bags eliminate the need for pots or containers entirely. Place on your greenhouse bench or floor, hydrate, and plant directly. Less equipment, faster setup, and easy removal after each crop cycle.

Low EC

Guaranteed EC Below 0.5 mS/cm

Triple-washed peat and chip blend — the lowest EC available in pre-filled bags. Consistent batch to batch. Lab documentation available on request for LP and commercial greenhouse compliance.

Layered

Multi-Layer Structure — Moisture + Drainage

The substrate is layered so the upper zone retains moisture for developing roots while the lower zone promotes drainage. This prevents waterlogging at the base — the primary cause of root rot in container growing.

400 GSM

400 GSM UV-Stabilised Bag

Heavy-duty 400 GSM polyethylene bag withstands greenhouse conditions, outdoor UV exposure, and repeated handling. Built for multi-cycle growing — reuse bag after bag before replacement.

Pet-Safe

Organic, Pet-Safe & Insect-Resistant

100% natural coco coir is non-toxic — safe around pets and livestock. The inert substrate does not attract or harbour insects. No synthetic inputs, no heavy metals, no pathogens.

Ontario

Ontario-Stocked — Ships in Days

No customs delays. Our Cambridge warehouse ships to every Canadian province and US state within 2–3 business days. Pallet orders of pre-filled bags always in stock.

How to Use

Place, Hydrate, Plant — In 6 Steps

Our open top bags are the simplest grow bag to set up. Pre-filled substrate means no mixing, no filling, no mess.

1

Position

Place the open-top bag in its final location — greenhouse bench, shelf, or growing floor. No tray needed.

2

Hydrate

Pour water slowly and evenly over the open top. Allow water to saturate fully through the substrate.

3

Expand

Full expansion takes a few minutes to up to 1 hour depending on bag size. Larger 27L bags need the most time.

4

Fluff

Gently mix the surface substrate to ensure even texture and remove any compressed clumps in the top layer.

5

Plant

Create planting holes or remove plugs. Insert seedlings, cuttings, or transplants directly into the substrate.

6

Irrigate

Set up drip or flood irrigation as appropriate. Maintain optimal moisture — check drainage from base holes.

Who It's For

Who Uses Avee Open Top Grow Bags

Nursery

Plant Nurseries

Pre-filled bags eliminate the nursery filling step entirely. Consistent substrate batch to batch. Multiple sizes from 3L to 27L fit any transplant stage from starter to finished product.

Vegetables

Greenhouse Vegetables

Tomato, cucumber, pepper and eggplant production. The 10L and 27L sizes provide adequate root volume for full-season crops. Multi-layer drainage prevents base waterlogging in high-frequency drip systems.

Berries

Soft Fruits & Berries

Strawberry, blueberry, and raspberry production in open top bags on elevated benches. The 3L–8L small format bags are ideal for elevated strawberry systems with drip irrigation.

Flowers

Flowers & Ornamentals

The 8L (20×20×20cm) cube bag is popular for ornamental crop production — pot-like shape fits existing bench systems. Low EC and clean substrate protects sensitive ornamental varieties.

Cannabis

Cannabis & Specialty Crops

27L large format bags for cannabis production. Open top allows easy training, topping, and canopy management. Pre-filled saves significant labour time per cycle.

Hydro

Hydroponics & Soilless

Compatible with drip, NFT, and flood-and-drain irrigation systems. Low EC, consistent substrate for predictable nutrient uptake. No-pot format simplifies system layout.

Frequently Asked Questions

Open Top Grow Bags — Questions Answered

Common questions from Canadian and US growers. Don't see yours? Ask us directly.

What is the difference between open top grow bags and standard flat grow bags? +
Open top bags have a fully open, box-like format with a deep vertical root zone — similar to a pot but without the hard walls. Standard flat grow bags are horizontal and designed for long-row greenhouse systems where plants are spaced along the bag length. Open top bags are better for nursery, ornamental, and compact crop production where you want individual container-style growing without the pot.
Do I need to cut drainage holes in the open top bags? +
Yes. Before hydrating, cut 2–4 small drainage slits or holes in the base or lower sides of the bag. This allows excess water to drain freely. Without drainage holes, water accumulates at the base and causes root rot. We recommend 1–2cm slits rather than large holes to maintain substrate integrity.
How long does it take for the bag to fully hydrate? +
Small bags (3L–8L) hydrate in 5–15 minutes. Medium bags (10L) take 15–30 minutes. Large 27L bags can take up to 1 hour for complete hydration. Water slowly and evenly for best results. Check the base and centre of the bag — if still dry and compressed, add more water and wait.
Can the bags be reused for multiple growing cycles? +
Yes. The 400 GSM UV-stabilised bag is built for multi-cycle use. After each crop, remove plant material, flush the substrate with clean water, and allow to dry. The substrate can be reused for 1–2 additional cycles or composted. The bag itself can typically be reused for 3–4 seasons under normal greenhouse conditions.
What substrate blend is inside the open top bags? +
Our open top bags are filled with a blend of triple-washed coco peat and coco husk chips. The chip fraction provides aeration and drainage at the base while the peat fraction retains moisture in the upper root zone. Custom peat:chip ratios are available — specify at order.
Do you ship open top grow bags to the USA? +
Yes. We ship from our Cambridge, Ontario warehouse to all 50 US states via parcel courier for smaller orders and cross-border LTL freight for pallet volumes. Contact us for a freight quote to your location.

Buy Coco Coir Open Top Grow Bags in Canada — Factory-Direct from Avee Cocoseller

Seven standard sizes from 3L to 27L cover every crop from herbs and ornamentals to cannabis and commercial tomato. Every bag is triple-washed, low EC, and ready to plant the moment it arrives.

Why Open Top Bags Are Replacing Nursery Pots in Canada

Plastic nursery pots require filling, sterilising, and storage. Open top coco bags arrive pre-filled — no filling labour, no sterilisation, minimal storage footprint. After the crop cycle, they compost or stack flat. Canadian nurseries and greenhouse operations are switching in significant numbers to reduce labour and improve consistency.
