Hydroponic Strawberries. Here is an update at 72 days from transplant. Not too thrilled with the results. However, still running them on Dyna-Gro Bloom at 800 PPM, 6.0 pH. Lighting is currently…
how big do the totes have to be? i would like to have thinner totes, do
they have to be so deep??
I am a member of a team at Purdue University working to develop a cheap
hydroponics system for families looking to supplement their food supply
with home-grown food. We have written a survey to help us determine what
our potential customers’ needs are and it would help us if anyone would
kindly take the time to fill it out. Thanks in advance!

0:46 – turn off your cell phone dip … or edit it out.?
Can I use a sponge and peet gravel for a medium in hydroponic system??
How do you get them out of the soil and into the bigger net pots with clay
marbles. Soil will just plug my system.?
hey grt video… how long do we need to keep the air pump on??
Also, there is a lot of light coming through that light colored plastic box
… you might get a darker colored one, or paint that one or cover it with
an opaque wrap to avoid growing algae in your water.?
+Natasha Stagg You are right – but this one blocks light pretty well.
Also, I just use this for starting seeds so if any algae grows, the seeds
are ready to be transplanted to a new system in that time :)?
So can I just leave this on my lanai out side and let them germinate
germinate that way? I run a hydroponics business servicing systems. So I
replenish the plants when needed. This would work great.
Please let me know ASAP.?
+skunk spliff I’d drain a bit. I’ve noticed better results when some of
the root is exposed to pure air. Won’t dry out because bubbles will be
hitting it and keeping it moist, but it will get a nice supply of oxygen!?
I thought spinach didn’t grow well in a small hydroponic system like this,
because of its nutrition requirements.?
Next time get a boom mic wtf …?
I have a small indoor aquaponics setup (a Back to the Root AquaFarm) –
almost everything spouts pretty quickly but many of the seedings never put
their roots down into the water, the stems ager then too weak to support
themselves and end up keeling over and dying when they are about 2″
tall….on the other hand, I have a 31″ high Geneovese Basil growing there
that has a zillion roots and produces crop after crop for me. The medium
are small gravel like rocks which wick up the water from the plant bed
(tank)… I’ve tried planting the seeds closer to the surface (where its
drier) and a bit deeper (where the rocks are visibly moist, though not
sitting in the tank water itself) but haven’t been able to figure out why
some of the seedlings’ roots “find” the tank of water and drop roots into
the tank and othes don’t and thus fail shortly after they spout…. Any
ideas??
I’d disagree with the putting multiple seeds in each Rapid Rooter thing …
you spend twice as much on seeds over time doing that, and seeds are
expensive. These germinators usually have a lot of sites/netcups in them,
so I think you are better off doing as many seeds as you need, and them
maybe an extra one or two, or if you are not in a time crunch just retry on
the RR’s that did not sprout. Just an opinion.?
I am sad, because I want to watch this, but it has such a low volume. 🙁 ?
That container would be great for an aero cloner! Where did you get it? Or
was this a kit??
how big is the container and the net pots ? do you leave the plants their
or you transplant them to another big container ? ?
It doesn’t required lots of skill about gardening to start making your own
hydroponics.?
What about chlorine? Also do you need a water sample? I know the alkalinity
of the water can raise the pH is this offset by acidic fertilizers???
The disadvantage of hydroponics is you need to pay for “plant food” or
nutrition and supplements that can be costly.?
Dump the air stone and allow the bottom 1/4″ of the net pots to sit in the
water. The plants will root and you will NEVER have to add water. Take a
look at B.A Kratky method. 30day lettuce easy and zero maintenance?
What kind bin are you using? Where did you get it??
Great video and very informative! Have you tried using any organic
nutrients in your system? Check out my website at http://www.P13Organics.com. We
have had great results with cucumbers, tomatoes and lettuce in deep water
culture and dutch raft systems. Would you be interested in trying a
sample? ?
Strawberries like a lower level of nutrients than other plants. I’ve seen
everbearing produce huge bumper crops on 400ppm of nutrients instead of
what you had at 600 or higher. Next time use 1/2 to 1/3rd of what you
typically use for nutrients. Also, start much earlier. You can start
right around Feb 14th indoors and get some really good production within 60
days from everbearing. Then they will taper off around middle of summer
and start producing again at the end of summer and into fall all the way up
to october!?
Hey Man, Great video! I might have an idea to help with your plants!
well… for next season anyway. I also use shop lights but I know that the
6500K lights are great for vegetative growth but they suck for flowering, I
really makes a difference if you use a low temp bulb as well (I think mine
is 2700K for flowering) you’ll know if its right because they have a slight
reddish glow. So if your using shop lights just put one 6500K and one 2700K
and you should see far better results for flowering plants. At least for
leafy greens your setup is bang on lol. Best of Luck in the new season!!?
Eh Bro! I’ve had such off and on success with strawberries I hate to offer
any advice 🙂 I have noticed indoors john that some varieties do better
with shorter photo periods and some don’t seem to care. I remember last
year when I brought them in from out side they immediately started to
flower and produce berries and I’m convinced it was the change in photo
period so I’m thinking it may be worth looking at. The ones out side looked
awesome eh 🙂 ?
I think you have found your variety. Big difference between the two.. I
always end up with brown roots with my strawberries- i just stop worrying
about the roots. You could try to stress your plants by reducing the hrs of
light & trick them into forming berries- just an idea. Plants & roots look
great. Looking forward to seeing how they do. Have a good one !

Nice video +Indoor Hydroponix it’s cool when you can get the kids to help
out. I’m looking into putting a few things indoors just to experiment. What
do you think about the HO t5 lights. That’s one of the things I’m trying to
figure out is what kind of lighting to use?
Nice John Hope you get lots more Strawberries. You’re right the other
plants seem to be doing better.?
I have 6 each of Tristan and Loran variety in a hydroponic strawberry tower
(check-out my video on them)…the Tristan seem to be better producers.
Using Urban-Hydroponic strawberry 24-12-32 mixed to about 1000 TDS/pH 6.0.
Also ordered 22 Eversweet bare-root strawberry plants, but all were dead
when received. Good luck!?

unless I am mistaken your indoor and outdoor strawberry plants were
different varieties. Couldn’t that alone explain why your indoor didn’t do
as well as outdoor? Could you run that experiment again using a “control”??
I remember my mother planted strawberries when I was a kid. She told me
not to expect a lot of berries until the second or third year.?
Are you pollinating them down there??
What type of strawberry’s were in the back yard? And thanks for the video.
(:?
Whelp, lets see how the hydroponic strawberries are progressing. And then
compare them to the dirt! Day 72 from transplant coming at ya!?
Did I miss something? I thought you closed down your grow room last spring
because of the high electric bill? How about an update on that??
