    I've learned a lot about growing strawberries since I made this video! To try and answer a lot of potential questions, I created a free guide of how to build a hydroponic system for strawberries:

    Thank you for posting. I started growing strawberries this year outside and it was my first time ever getting an lots of strawberries. I think I found the perfect place for them to grow. I want to start growing strawberries indoors or when it’s winter. I was also inspired to try growing indoors because we had so many rain this past month a lot of my strawberry plants got sick. I’m excited to start growing strawberries inside

    I saw an article on the NC State website that explained strawberry flowers may need a little help self pollinating in order to avoid small or malformed fruit. I figured I'd pass on the tip since you've shared so many with all of us.

    • @SimpleGreensHydroponics

  • @jaysilence3314
    @jaysilence3314 3 ปีที่แล้ว +13

    Browning of the tips of leaves can be an indicator for potassium deficiency. But since you are so high with your nutrient levels that is somewhat unlikely. Still, flowering and fruit bearing plants tend to require higher levels of potassium and phosphorous, so you could consider shifting the balance a slight bit into the fruity territory.
    But be aware that while over fertilizing is not an issue with most of the nutrients, this is actually possible with too much phosphorous. Yield drops, with too much P.
    1000 ppm is really quite high. Half of that or less should be sufficient.

  • @robg4843
    @robg4843 3 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    The weird shape is from improper pollination. You gotta shake those flowers a bit or use a qtip. I know they are "Self pollinating" But thats gotta be done when doing them indoors. Not from flower to flower but just each one on its own. Gotta spread that love. Great video

    Thanks!! I was looking around and some scientific papers studied EC levels at 1.5 as being optimum, while you said you're using 0.8.
    I ended up trying 1.5 EC by adding table salt...like they suggested in the paper. And it nearly killed all 30 strawberry plants, leaving only the crown barely alive with all the leaves dead. Had to flush the system start again with just the surviving crown :( 600-800ppm seems to be the correct range.

    1. What colour light are you using for strawberry?

    3. Do the flowers self pollinate? I have been told that my plants are self pollinating, but I am not sure.
    Thank you and I look forward for your reply.

      1. A full spectrum grow light, this particular one is from Active Grow.
      2. The root stock I've gotten always has large roots already so I've found it necessary.
      3. They will self-pollinate somewhat, but hand pollination helps the berries to grow larger and have a nice shape.

    I am new to hydroponics and the reason i got into it is because of the climate where i am currently living. Dubai UAE is a very hot and humid country most of the year practically from May to November, the sun seems extremely harsh as well with temperatures averaging 45+ degrees Celsius from 10:00am to 20:00pm.
    Coming from South Africa, i am use to being able to go to a grocery store a pick up 500g of strawberries for about US$3 and they taste amazing, in the UAE its all imported with prices around US$8 upwards. Tried to grow a few items in my 20m2 garden but only have 5 good months to so, now am into hydroponics and hoping to grow my own.
    Any advise on the tool/equipment which you use to measure the PPM and Acidity Level as well as the best type of nutrients, i have a Growing Light but not sure if it will aid in the growing of my strawberries.

    Are you still growing Strawberries? I bought a bunch last year and they did ok at first but all died but I always kept my ppm between 1200-1300 or 2.1-2.2ecm. I guess that is the reason why so I'll try again. I have some June Berries so I'm curious to see if I can get them to produce all year by adjusting the light and timer. I researched that June Berries stop producing when the days get longer so if I keep the grow lights no more than 6-8 hours/day. I hear it might work. Let me know if you have learned anything new since this video. Thanks a lot!

      I've had them 6 months and they are still producing but from what I've read they will need a break at some point. I'm working on starting new plants from runners to be ready to go once these plants are done but I'm not sure yet what I'll do with the old plants.

    Do you measure your source water tds and ph before adding nutrients?

    • @SimpleGreensHydroponics
      @SimpleGreensHydroponics  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, though not every time since we know the normal pH and TDS of our tap water. Our rainwater is neutral.

    Thanks for sharing your experience. Are you using the Kratky method? Do you use aeroponics? What's your lamp and DLI for strawberry growth? Congrats for achieving some beautiful berrys.

      Thank you! Our system is a hybrid between NFT and DWC since there's always water flowing through it but it's deeper than a nutrient film. We do not use aeroponics at this time. We use Active Grow T5 LED lights and the DLI is somewhere around 15 just based on our lighting specs. Check out our website for more details!

    Hey there. How have your strawberries been holding up? I'm doing a hydroponic indoor system as well, but mine is vertical. Loved the video!

    hey, first of all great video. I try to get into hydroponics so maybe you can help me out with the timings of the light source (how long you turn the lights on/off), also I am interested if you can harvest strawberries all year around since you are growing them indoors.
    appreciate fin

    • @SimpleGreensHydroponics
      @SimpleGreensHydroponics  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes, you can definitely harvest all year round if you have the right setup. Light is on 14 hours a day. Check out our video on lighting for more info.

    What PPM is that? Hanna, Eutech, Truncheon?
    Also other than EC charts and pH charts which seem to differ a lot, are there any tips to finding good variety of crops to share the same nutrients?
    I want to grow a nice variety but don't want dozens of different nutrient tanks

      I shoot for 60-70 deg F. Warmer than that can make things nicer for root rot.
