CubeCap – FloodCaps®, DripCaps®, and CubeCaps®

Reduce resources and problems, increase profit!

By significantly reducing your facility’s water usage we can dramatically increase your profits.

Large scale US growers report reducing water usage over 400,000 liters

With increase in profit over 20,000$ USD Per acre, per year!

Who We Are

Originally focused on hydroponic systems using starter rockwool cubes, CubeCap® is a revolutionary new application that can now be applied to soil and all other growing mediums. Using CubeCap®, FloodCap® and DripCap®, commercial growers can dramatically increase the waterborne oxygen supply to plant roots for substantial increases in yields of any commercial crop.

At the same time, by saving on labour and resources (specifically water and fertilizer) CubeCap® products will significantly broaden the profit margins of any commercial cultivation facility.

Steven Gallo, founder, chief inventor and CEO of CubeCap Canada has been deeply involved in the hydroponics community for over 40 years. After this much hands on experience, Steven Gallo he realized there was room for improvement in hydroponics systems and formed CubeCap® Canada in 2007.

An incorporated Canadian company, through and through, inventing, patenting and manufacturing sustainable agricultural products.

All of our proprietary innovative products are manufactured in-house and in North America, passing the savings on to you!

Products

CubeCaps®, DripCaps® and FloodCaps® are water and fertilizer conservation tools designed to work with equal efficiency and effectiveness for commercial greenhouse and hobby growers alike. They are patented internationally with separate patents as well for Canada and the USA.

For use as vapour and light barrier covers for any and all types of growing mediums including, Rockwool, Coco, Pro Mix, Soil, deep water, NFT and more!
Besides being used on “Rockwool” blocks, our Caps can also be used on square or round pots containing loose growing mediums.
All of our products provide the perfect solution for reducing water and fertilizer usage, lowering room humidity, reducing weed growth, powdery mildew, algae and fungus gnats.

Standardize your watering regiment

FloodCap®, DripCap® & CubeCap® Attributes

Reduce water and fertilizer by at least 30%. Documented in our case studies and white papers for your assurance and validation.
Biodegradable versions. No cleaning/washing required saving time and labour costs.
Reusable version available (made from recycled plastic).
Lightning fast easy installation.
Minimize algae growth and related problems.
Maintain a cooler medium temperature also means maintaining a lower internal plant temperature for hyper vigorous growth.
Promote larger, more uniform yields.
Protect stems and lower leaves from rotting.
Works on all growing mediums.
Old, depleted nutrients are flushed out of cube and pot bottoms as waste, reducing EC/salt build-up, as new water and nutrient solution enters from the top.
Extremely low evaporation loss with adjustable irrigation frequency using a water pump timer.
No separate drip stakes to buy.
Irrigation feed is securely locked in place.
4 dripper holes for even distribution of water and nutrients.
Cost is lower than the savings achieved, increasing profits.
Deflect seeds and other matter from falling into the growing medium.
Help maintain the integrity of Coco and/or peat blocks as they have the tendency to bulge out when moist.
NO MORE getting “accidentally” bumped off the grow cubes like drip stakes.
Opening down the middle with a rear hinge for quick and easy application and removal. Rim around each cap edge guides the cap easily and quickly into place.

Square FloodCap® comes 6"

Growers have the option to use just one or both of the bevelled irrigation nipples that accommodate all popular size propagation hoses. We recommend using both irrigation nipples to thoroughly disperse oxygenated water directly to developing baby root systems for an unbeatable bottom line: rapid growth and maximum yields.

Two irrigation entrees permanently attached to the top of the cap and four exit holes on the bottom of the Cap, directing water evenly onto the top of the growing medium allows for maximum water coverage.

Perfect drip feed solution, eliminating the need for drip stakes that can be accidentally displaced.

Opens up down the middle with a rear hinge and locks in place. Perfectly adjustable for any size stalk.

Round FloodCap® comes in 12"

Growers have the option to use just one or both of the bevelled irrigation nipples that accommodate all popular size propagation hoses. We recommend using both irrigation nipples to thoroughly disperse oxygenated water directly to developing baby root systems for an unbeatable bottom line: rapid growth and maximum yields.

CubeCap® comes in 3" 4” and 6”

Accommodates flood and drain, NFT and other bottom-fed irrigation methods, while maintaining the same attributes as the DripCap.

Coco Blocks

CubeCap®, DripCap® and Floodcap® help maintain the integrity of our line of Coco and peat blocks, preventing them from bulging out when moist. Works with all brands. Peat and coco blocks are perfect for integrating seedlings and clones into their main peat or coco vegging/flowering pots and works like a charm with the “Four Inches Is All You Need” technique.

NO Algae & Medium-borne Pests!

3 BIG Problems with Algae

Algae formation on your cubes or the surface of the medium in your pots use a percentage of the plant’s water, oxygen, CO2 and nutrient supply. Just to survive, algae steals this percentage from your plants. If not checked in time, this alone could ruin your entire crop. But at the same time as Algae is permitted to grow...
Algae also happens to be the preferred breeding ground for fungus gnats, shore flies and their root-damaging larvae. These gnats and flies feed on the Algaeand breed. Breeding produces hundreds upon 1000’s of young larvae which burrow down and feast on the plant’s roots until the plant is destroyed.
As the top layer of Algae continues to grow and thicken on the surface of the unprotected cube or pot full of medium and its resident plant, the Algae becomes hard enough to severely impact the top of the growing medium. This hardening action eventually smothers the plant by drastically reducing the growth medium’s oxygen holding, drainage and water absorption capacity. If the plant happens to survive to the end of fruit and flowering, its yields will be small, if non-existent! Months of energy, water and nutrients completely wasted!

Not with CubeCap® and DripCap®!

Shown above: progression of algae while using dripper stakes.

Algae & Pests

Fungus gnats and shore flies lay their eggs in an algae-impacted environment. Their larvae quickly hatch, burrow down into the medium and feed on your plant roots. Never mind, “causing adverse and undesirable effects on the quality of your harvest and yields”, as science professors claim—this in an understatement at best! In a matter of days after pests take hold, your entire infected crop will be destroyed.

Eliminate the possibility of this blight ever happening in your growing facility by using CubeCaps®, DripCaps® and FloodCaps® from the very beginning on your cubes or pots of medium. CubeCap®s, DripCaps® and FloodCaps® stops and prevent Algae growth thereby eliminating pests that seek algae to feed on and breed in.

Reduce resources and problems, increase profit!
