Title: Plastic china green queen cups 1,000 pcs
Post by: Sebashtion H. on June 07, 2016, 01:49:17 PM
Has anyone used these Plastic china green queen cups for the nicot system or with the cage rollers and plugs from the nicot or any other system, besides grafting into and waxing them to a top bar?

Their diameter is too large to fit the Nicot system - I had to buy a couple of hundred to discover that.

You can attach them to the cell bars with melted wax.

that is what i was trying to figure out. i have the hair roller cages with the nicot bottoms and the brown part attached to the bar but the cups dont seem to fit. i was wondering if there was a bottom cup holder that worked with these cups that had the hair roller cage to protect the cells.
