Really cool, I'm growing like 30 plants in a 5 ft kids outdoor tub. Easy companion planting with onions, cilantro, marigold, lettuce, mint, rosemary.. and transplanting in the spring is simple.
That was great info. I'm on my third time trying to grow Strawberries indoors.. in soil.. and getting very disconcerted. There is more useful info in your video than I have seen on others about growing in soil. And I've watched sooo many! Thank you so much!! I'm relieved that I might be able to take better care of them now that I understand better. If you might consider.. I'd like to know more about the EC levels. All the best to you and your Wife. 🌱😊🌱
Great video! I didn‘t know that the difference between „normal“ and „everbearing“ strawberry varieties is just the day length, very interesting. And that you can let strawberries grow and bloom „indefinitely“ till they reach their lifespan is pretty cool. I think i am going to try that out.
Thank you I’m glad I could help. It’s very fascinating how plants react to the environment they are in and how we can manipulate that as indoor growers :D i appreciate you have a great day :)
Well done video with a lot of information. Have a note pad handy while you watch. Looking forward to watching more videos. I have been trying to grow plants using hydroponics and indoor light for several decades and this video contains tons of info. Got to get my hydroponic tubs back out and started. I always focused on growing tomatoes byt the info in this video can be useful for a lot of different plants. Thanks and Well Done!
Just wanted to let you know that this is great info! I have subscribed for updates. I just started a year round indoor strawberry patch/shelf after moving my starts for the summer outside.
when you pluck a strawberry off its stem, do you cut the stem off or does it just wither and die and falls off on its own? Also, do you trim the roots at all after a while, maybe the y get too long? if so, how often do you do it?
I have the choice of growing with white full spectrum low power like hlg propagator lights for lettuce and herbs, or lights that are stronger for tomatoes and the such like. What is you grow light type? Also, which seed type grows the most through the year? Does one type grow bigger and juicer than others? Thank you for your video!
02:09 " will set flowers at night when the temperature drops" I guess I'm about to find out but, soooo if I'm growing them in an apartment where the temperature never drops below 23c (73f), they don't flower?
My apologies I commented BEFORE finishing the video 🤦♂️. Here in the south the summers get nasty hot outdoors and so indoor strawberries would be the only way to go . Thanks for the video good stuff !
Excuse me i have a question. Will i get bad root clogging if i run strawberries in a 2 1/2 inch diameter pipe nft style? Any info would be appreciated thanks. I will have a 2x4 tent soon😊
What size grow tent is that? Also how much Great White do you add to the water. I think my strawberry plant might need that, as the leaves are starting to wilt and get dry and roots are not getting new growth on several plants.
It can be hard to find online what something is. Typically if it’s a long season crop it wants long days to flower and short season crops useally short day. I grew watermelon on a 12/12 light schedule. They take up a lot of space and use a lot of light but it was fun it’s not the most profitable to grow indoors under lights so I don’t anymore but outside it can do well hydroponically depending on climate
@@DitchTheFlock The guy grow awesome I just seen it he had it on a 14-hour light cycle so both of your methods seem like they was working maybe you might want to try looking at his first watermelon he grew hydroponically grow awesome but thank you for the information both of y'all love watching but thanks again
hi i am growing strawberries and i do not know the type. im on 18on 6 off light timings, i think im getting a flower, is this normal and how do i keep it in veg longer?
Hey man i hope ur okay! Thanks for your videos! I started a new strawberry indoor farm, and i have a lot of questions haha Is a paid call a service you offer ?
I don’t but ask any questions you have here I’ll try to help point you in the right direction most of what I know is in my hydroponics strawberry indoor playlist and in this video specifically. There so many types of questions to optimize them all for the search engine can be a lot so most of the time I come around to niche info just talking along in the video sense there’s a lot of information
Hey! I was curious about the ideal EC for kratky strawberrirs. I see you're at 2.0 EC, but one resource I found from the University of Arizona suggests a lower EC (they say 1.0 dS/m or less). Is it just variety dependent? or maybe because they're using a different method like NFT? Thanks!
I do deep water culture where we pump bubbles into the bottom of the bucket to supply oxygen so the plant does not drown. Kratky method is where you rely on the water going lower in the bucket for the roots to come in contact with oxygen so they do not drown. I would do the same EC I normally do for DWC. I start all plant transfers at 1 EC and build them up to 2.1 to 2.5 EC as they get larger. The only difference between DWC and kratky is how the plant receives oxygen so it doesn’t drown. I wouldn’t change the ECs I normally do some plants won’t flower below a certain EC all my plants get the same NPK aswell
I have some seeds I’m trying to germinate in my hydroponics system . They haven’t germinated yet - it’s been 46 days . I have them in deep water hydro system . They are just furry and white but nothing germinating . The water is at 484 ppm . Temp 66. Ph 6.9 . I use the florablooms food . Am I doing something wrong or is it the seeds ? I’ve moved some seed to a cup and plastic wrap to see if they germinate in the cup .
I have a video on how I start just about any seed in rockwool I will link it for you it should help alottt. If they are furry they are most likely dead. I start seeds without nutrients just fresh water in rockwool. No nutrients till the plant has some leaves and roots, and then I give fresh transfers 1EC witch is the same as 500ppm. That’s a good temp and ph is good 5.5 is ideal but I’ve done as low as 3.3 Ph or 7 Ph it’s just some phosphorus is more soluble in lower ph. When you say hydroponic system what is the grow media is it a little bit of soil to start the seed or something similar, are you putting it in clay pebbles in a net pot. It’s most likely not the seeds you could be drowning them I’m not sure what the grow media is but I recommend rockwool. Lemme just link you the video a lot of my vidoes can help show you more what works for me and how. “How I start any kind of seed with Rock wool for my indoor hydroponic farm at home” ruclips.net/video/KDykefeSmjI/видео.html
@@DitchTheFlock They look gorgeous……. Unfortunately, the energy rates has tripled so I’m trying to simplify; I’m confused about the nutrients and PPM; what NPK ratio do you use for strawberries ? Masterblend strawberry is 9-12-34, so for little runners/transplants, typically they use a 1/3rd of full dosage…. 500PPM is 1/2g ? Do you add Cal-Mag or any other extra element to your strawberries ? And how much do you use for your large strawberry plants ? Thanks ; )
hey ive been googling around for this info and its no where. What is the light cycles for: Seedling stage Vegetative stage Everything i could find was only giving me light cycles for flowering but I cannot for the life of me find any information on what the light cycle should be for seedling and vegetative stage.
From my continued research into the most basic information (which isnt available) on how to grow strawberries indoors step by step this is what I have pieced together. Seedling/vegetative: Light should be 12inches away and ON for 10hours. As the plant matures lower the light (to get closer to the plant) no more than 6inches away and gradually increase the light cycle. At 12 hours the strawberry will speed up in growth. 14-17 hours is the general amount of light you want during flowering for strawberries. I havent been able to find any information on what i should set my light to for each cycle. I will assume it should be at a low setting for seedling (like most plants) but it being raised higher than other plants at the start suggests to start at a high setting for my light. It would be super fantastic (and something never achieved on the internet yet) to have a step-by-step guide on how to grow strawberries indoors. All the videos, articles etc are just people blabbing on about niche things when it comes to strawberry growing and nothing general or straight forward.
Can you please share your video on starting seeds in rock wool. This is my 1st time requesting info and I am unsure how you would share it with me, do I need to give my email?
This link should work, I appreciate you, best of luck. You can ask any question here in the comments I hope this helps :) ruclips.net/video/KDykefeSmjI/видео.html
Ilearned a lot. Didnt know letting small plants flower will make them look like they are diseased. Still believe a part of my plants falling back this spring was because i grew my strawberries on mostly clay soil. This early spring i dug them all up and put compost from my city at a ration of pretty much 50/50 with peat moss and perlite. Almost half my strawberries were removed and crown divided into pots because one of my seascapes was petty mcuh overcrownded so i managed to get 7 plants but i lost a few unfortunately. Bought a few adult plants to revive and have mara des bois strawberries this year while i left the small ones try to recover. I have gotten 4 plants from 2 Plants and i have 3 more coming from the other 3 who are starting to root. We cold winters here And idk how i can save my runners Or potted strawberries from the cold in zone 4b. I thought burrying them to toil level on my vegetable bed during winter so that they survive and can sell them or replace/expand my patch
They are food grade buckets meant for this and the plastic doesn’t get warm either I’m not worried about it but if people are they can grow with whatever they like
That’s very specific? My wife isn’t in that much of the content or for very long. We live in the desert it’s very hot that’s how we both dress. The videos have nothing to do with her body and are literally all about plants. It’s pretty dumb you think I’d care to show her off for views. Don’t you think the content would be centered around that more. Why do people comment like you is the real question, what is the point? You would really have to be thick in the head to claim my RUclips channel is centered around her body
Leave his wife alone, he explained its hot where he lives. let this nice couple show you how to grow things. That is the whole point. gee what's wrong with people? what is wrong with you to make such a statement, he is informative about plants so get over it. @@DitchTheFlock
Dude it's like you made this video specifically for me. Thanks for making this video, there is SO much good info in it.

Great video, just started indoor strawberries too, lot of things to learn but it is exciting.
Best of luck, that is exciting, it is something to look forward to :D you can always keep me updated :) Have a good night!
Good idea to get LED transformer block to the outside of the tent. Thanks for the vids! Lots of good editing and shots.
Thank you :D I appreciate your support!Have a great day! :)
Great info. You shared a lot of informative content with us in the community.
thanks for a very informational knowledge mate 👍 cheers
Thank you I try my best to include all information that I know someone may have questions about so they can get similar result :D
Really appreciate the content. Keep up the good work!
Wow, thank you so much for all of the great info packed right and tight! You most definitely get a sub from me. Keep up the great work sir!
Great job man thanks for the information.
Great video, would be nice to see your profile of nutrients for strawberries.
So much great information, I’ll definitely be back to check this video out again , new subscriber here
Great video, very informative!
Great info. Thanks!
Thank you for watching! :D
Great video! I didn‘t know that the difference between „normal“ and „everbearing“ strawberry varieties is just the day length, very interesting. And that you can let strawberries grow and bloom „indefinitely“ till they reach their lifespan is pretty cool. I think i am going to try that out.
Thank you I’m glad I could help. It’s very fascinating how plants react to the environment they are in and how we can manipulate that as indoor growers :D i appreciate you have a great day :)

That’s awesome I wish you the best of luck :D you can always keep me updated I love to hear about. I appreciate you have a great day! :D
You deserve more subs
Thank you for the information. I'm trying to grow strawberries in an aeroponic tower and struggling
Best of luck :D are you indoors or outdoors :) what sorts issues are you having maybe I could help somehow :D
Impressive, i hope mine work out!
Best of luck you can keep me updated if you need any help :D
How much did it all cost to get that setup up and running as shown? PS You are super knowledgeable! Keep up the awesome videos!
when you pluck a strawberry off its stem, do you cut the stem off or does it just wither and die and falls off on its own? Also, do you trim the roots at all after a while, maybe the y get too long? if so, how often do you do it?
Hey do you have a week of flush prior to harvest? Great video by the way!
great video, thank you

Okay you talked about this at 10:50 or so, I do have an AC unit, we'll see how things go
hi
i see youre useing ts1000 lights , what distance from the plant and what power are the lights
and youre time cycle
Which varieties do well under 24h in soil that I could get in uk?
New sub here. Good info ! Do they do well in NFT or DWC system? Or wash n drain is better for oxygenation
Hello, can you please tell me what size tent that is??
5x10feet and I think 8ft tall
Hello, Thank you for your good information. I want to ask you something for strawberry. How can I send you my suggestion?
Are you able to get the black & ras berries to give fruit year round too?
I assume you have an inline fan venting out a nearby window ? If not that should help with temps a lot
My apologies I commented BEFORE finishing the video 🤦♂️. Here in the south the summers get nasty hot outdoors and so indoor strawberries would be the only way to go . Thanks for the video good stuff !
Excuse me i have a question. Will i get bad root clogging if i run strawberries in a 2 1/2 inch diameter pipe nft style? Any info would be appreciated thanks. I will have a 2x4 tent soon😊
I have not tried but there’s a chance that could occur, my guess is it might restrict water flow, but best of luck :D

What size grow tent is that? Also how much Great White do you add to the water. I think my strawberry plant might need that, as the leaves are starting to wilt and get dry and roots are not getting new growth on several plants.
So can you do a video on watermelons and what light cycle are they long day short day or whatever day
