Key Features:
- Sustainable and Reusable: Crafted from high-quality, food-grade silicone, Silicone Substrate plugs are designed for repeated use, significantly reducing the environmental impact, and cost associated with single-use growing mediums.
- Superior Plant Growth: Silicone Substrate enables unrestricted root growth and does not allow excess water around the base of the stem. The air gap below the stem, inherent to all Silicone Substrate products, enable greater oxygenation in the root zone compared to water-logged growing media.
- Universal Compatibility: Ideal for a wide range of plants, including vegetables, herbs, and flowers, Silicone Substrate plugs can grow plants from seed, clone, or root stock. The current model of the Silicone Substrate plugs fits the standard CropKing channel covers, a 1-in square hole or a 1.375-inch round hole, in addition to the 30mm holes seen in home aeroponics kits. Custom collars to fit systems with larger holes are available on request.
- Mass Customization: If this size isn't right for your system, any variation is possible at scale without added custom design fees. Submit a request to orders@kappaagtech.com and let's get to work on a solution that fits your needs.
- Easy to Clean and Sterilize: Simplify your growing with cubes that are effortlessly cleaned and sterilized, ready for reuse with just a quick rinse and preferred sterilization method. The provided racks serve double duty as cleaning racks and hold the cubes in place during seeding, germination, and propagation stages.
- Cost-Effective: With their durable design, Silicone Substrate plugs offer an outstanding return on investment, paying for themselves by eliminating the need for costly disposable media.
- Zero Waste: Join the movement towards zero waste in commercial agriculture by adopting a product that's built to last and eliminate not only single use disposables, but also the packaging and emissions that accompany the harvest, production, and transport of single use products destined for the landfill.
- Ease of Use: Whether you're a seasoned professional or a gardening enthusiast, Silicone Substrate plugs provide an intuitive, straightforward planting experience.
