Hi Leah,
Iam growing strawberry in system like you have, but I got root rot on my plant. How long you run the pump, and how long you let it stop. Can you make the video about how the water flow in your system, is the water fall to the crown ?, And if you can, can you show the root in your next video too. The root rot in my plant bring me so much depression :(.
Thank you Leah
