please do keep posted I have been wanting to try my hands on other hydroponic grows other than mj,I always thought it would be a good cover up,plus like mj you would get more pride outta eating something you raised and nourished,sure anybody can go to a grocery store and buy strawberry's but how many people can grow droberrys,good luck and keep posted
Are you starting from seed or plant? and which variety/strain is the strawberry. different varieties fruit at different times in the season, ( ie. june bearers, everbearers, day neutral). Im not certain which type would do best under lights. I have not read too much into it but I would also like to try to grow some strawberries indoors, maybe in a little ebb and flow. I have bought some alpine strawberry seeds which are supposed to be everbearing. Anyway, please keep us posted on your grow.

so far it has not been the best will post pics soon. i took one out of the soil. it is growing in my flowering box right now. i do not know what kind it is but it has berry for the 2nd time this year(had berry's when i took it out of the soil). the berry that is on it is getting bigger so it is showing sing of life. i just don't know what kind of nuts i am to use or what light time to do on it like 12/12 all the time or do a veg, back and forth from veg to flower???????????????????? i have little time but i have been trying to find stuff on the web about it. if you find some stuff please leave the info on here so we can all share it! thank you

Good idea. I was thinking of doing strawberries in my DWC. I think ever-bearing would be the way to go.

I know this one....IT GREW...
In a Deep water culture the water acts as the medium, The coco fiber/hydroton/rockwool or whatever is what you use to actually hold the plant in the mesh pot, but all of the nutrients are gained from the water. Seems there is alot of novice questions that can be answered by a great sticky provided here.For more info on DWC's; here is a simple and straight foward explantion on how to get started (helped me greatly.)

I made a little hydroponic bubbler out of a coffee can and a fishtank pump, and It worked great. cut a hole in the lid, put a yougert cup that I put holes in into the hole, run yr fish tank tube thru the lid, mini DWC for cheap....I made it specifically for strawberries, but the thing is, since I normally grow in soil as my choice of medium, I don't have hydroponic solutions around to feed them, other then miriacle grow plant food, and that was just to damn hot. what do strawberries like for the solution? any cheap ways of feeding them, other then going to my local hydro store and buying something like flora-gro? cool thread btw, I have been wondering about this for awhile now.
