It solves two problems at once — makes top feeding fast and consistent, and blocks light so algae doesn't colonise your medium. Works solo for hand-feeding or plugs into an automated system. One we sell a lot of for growers scaling up from hand-watering.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe FloraFlex FloraCap is a \u003cstrong\u003epatent-pending irrigation cap\u003c\/strong\u003e designed to sit on top of rockwool cubes or pots and distribute water, nutrients, and air evenly across your growing medium. The flower-designed louvers block light penetration, which stops algae forming on top of your media — a real problem in high-humidity or indoor setups. It works both as a simple hand-feed tool and as part of an automated system with FloraClips and tubing, so you can scale from manual to automated without replacing kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow it compares\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTop feeding solutions range from basic hand-watering to full drip systems.
