So I bought 20 strawberry plants a few months ago from someone in town and decided to do some experiments. I planted some in soil, some I put in my outdoor hydroponic NFT system, and these four I plopped into two of my indoor tabletop hydroponic DWT systems.
I decided to just let the mfs grow to see what happened and look at all those fucking runners they won’t stop growing, I can’t keep up it’s never ending. These have been by far the most successful (although still no flowers/fruit yet lol).
So I’ve been planting some of them in soil to produce new independent plants:
Others I might transfer to my NFT system (I still have a few open slots there). Still not sure how I’m going to manage overwintering the hydro ones I have outside but I’ll figure something out.
If you’re curious this is the system in the picture, they’re awesome I have three of them in total, but you could easily make your own much cheaper with a plastic insert, some spray paint, an aquarium air stone, timer and light.
I am going to be the undisputed king of Strawberryland
Nothing a q-tip can’t solve
