Hydroponic Strawberries - Off to a Good Start

This is our biggest hydroponic strawberry crop yet. There are lots of Katy's growing tips in this video. We have tried them in the NFT system, but found they are much easier in buckets. We talk about what it was like growing them in the main greenhouse. Then I got a couple things done in there before heading out to the high tunnel. Doug was also outside working on the strawberry support system. We have 100 buckets and 500 plants. The extra strawberry plants went into hanging baskets.

I'm glad you mentioned the limitation of NFT: the plant size. Not many gorwers show their problems

Your welcome. We are going to do more vids of problems and solutions....because as you know not everything goes smooth no matter what people say.

[@onurcanozavci8349]

We cut the tips of strawberry roots before we plant them in my country. I am not an expert but I heard that if the roots are bended while you plant, it affects the plant negatively. Great greenhouse by the way!

[@bs4638]

Devon...have you looked into vertical hydroponic towers for strawberries? Isn't it a lot of vertical height waste for such short plants compared with tall growing plants like tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, etc? Even with the planters you have now, you might be able to create at least a two tier system with sufficient gap between each tier to prevent shading. Please ask your "evil genius" dad to try building a small scale two tier system in a corner. If it works, you can replicate throughout the greenhouse next season. No offense to Dad...a nice compliment, that's all! 😁 😁 Good luck! As always, you guys are doing an awesome job with your farm! Love it! Learning a lot, and hope to start a small farm one day! Thank you for sharing all of your knowledge! 😀

[@HomegrownPassion]

The strawberries are Albion and Seascape from Johnny's Seed. The white rail buckets were special order from CropKing. They do not have them listed on their site yet, and I was unable to find them any where online. I will update when I can get a link for them. The rail system is Doug's design.

We grow the majority of our strawberries in DWC beds so they are all bare root. We use to have them in media and haven't noticed any difference with the production. This year we're building out more troughs that can be overhead. Where did you get the Beto buckets? They can be crazy expensive!

Great videos. Nothing beats the taste of Northeast Ohio strawberries. Where do you sell your produce?

[@kevinf3642]

I think the reason why people think that hydroponic grown produce is flavorless, is because hydroponic tomatoes for instance, when I see them in the store, most of the time they are trucked in from afar: like from Canada (I live in South West Missouri). So the tomatoes are picked green so they will survive the journey, which causes them not to have the taste as a tomato that is picked at maturity.

[@xenzgoul8319]

It also depends on the kind of tomato u grow, i live in the Netherlands and because of our climate all the commercialy grown tomato's are grown in hydroponic greenhouses. Farmers in co-operation with Wageningen university of agricultural research have bred tomato plants that only need 4 liters of water to produce 1kg of tomato's (around 1.05 gallon for around 2.2 pounds of tomato). Ironically our tomato's taste quite watery, which besides the selective breeding comes from the fact that our tomato's unlike for example Italian and Spanish ones get way less sunlight. Although i kinda like the more watery taste in salads, it's horrible in sauces or soup in which you would really want that strong tomato flavour.

[@leannekenyoung]

That’s funny because I live in Canada and feel like all our “fresh” veggies are trucked in from the U.S. and are green on the truck and ripen in the dark. But I can tell you I absolutely LOVE growing my own food in hydroponics which I’m doing in a very small apartment and it’s incredible the quantity of food that you can actually grow hydroponically and I can tell you that the taste is beyond anything that I had ever imagined soooo amazingly good!! The tomatoes are the absolute best I’ve ever tasted and I leave them to ripen fully on the plant and only pick them when I need them.

[@oanairani41]

I have heard that about hydroponic fruit. Some say it is bland. I grew a hydroponic cherry tomato in my AeroGarden and the tomatoes tasted just like tomatoes. I haven’t tried any other fruit. But I grow a lot of lettuce in my AeroGarden and it tastes great. No dirt or bugs either!

[@HomegrownPassion]

Yes thank you! That's why we love hydroponics. I'm looking forward to showing the ripe strawberries and how red they are in the middle.

[@tuckncrypto500]

Getting into this myself and just curious about your opinion on something. Do you think the problem with the NFT channel could be solved by implementing a drip system? The system would work all the same with that minor modification while simultaneously allowing the system to operate without getting clogged or a bulk of the plants consuming most of nutrients?

[@nitramdmij]

I have been growing various kinds of vegetables hydroponically for about 3 years now. I started with peppers, tomatoes, and lettuce. They all tasted great, full of flavor. I have since grown spinach, basil, stevia and green beans. I have even just started trying to grow zucchini (I just got some flowers in the last week so nothing has set yet). I think when people say hydroponic vegetables taste bland, they may be referring to things they are buying in the grocery store. Foods that were still picked green and only ripened up in the back of a truck several hundreds or more miles from the grocery store. Love your channel, thanks for all the great information!

[@mydanishgarden3112]

I really enjoy your channel, its very informative and I love the whole family thing. Please can you keep the information and progress of the strawberries growing. I've had a few hydroponic ideas flowing to grow strawberries where I live in Denmark, our problem is temperature and the shortness of the summer. Keep the channel going it's a wealth of valuable information.

[@darrenmurray861]

I really have positive envy for you. Whilst I do not think that life is in any way easy with what you do, your family definitely made the right decision to go with hydro farming.

the only time one has 'bland' hydroponic produce is lower PK ration to N e.g NPK. tip to all hobby growers, if you've tasted your crop and its bland add 10-50ppms MKP to each 250ppms of your nutrient tank solution to increase your PK to N ratio.

Hi Devon. We just discovered your channel as we are doing research on Hydroponics. Strawberries are looking so tempting.... We were wondering how often do you run the heat in the greenhouse for the leafy greens. We are in Southern Ontario, so climate is very similar. With double poly greenhouse, we are trying to figure out how cold its gets inside winter time and how often do you need to run the heaters. Any info would be appreciated. Again, loving you channel.

Thank for always adding nuggets of practical application (and reasons why and why not)

[@1jw298]

Did you have customers before you got started? Or did you have everything up and running and then go out and get business

[@HomegrownPassion]

Good question. We had a couple places that were interested in buying our produce right when we started. We picked up a few local restuarants and grocery stores the first year. The greenhouse wasn't totally full at that point. Katy and Doug spent a lot of time making deliveries all over the place. Eventually Katy got accepted into a couple farm markets and was contacted by Yellowbird to participate in the CSA program. Then they were able to drop the deliveries and focus on spending more time at the greenhouse and filling it to max capasity.

[@1jw298]

Make sure you keep your tunnel under 85 degrees with day-neutrals, or you'll see blossoms but fruit won't set. Fertilize routinely with P/K when you are blooming. Hit them with a more concentrated N and a humic April/May. I helped to develop some now patented day neutral varieties when I was at MSU. I grow one of them now commercially on a plasticulture system. The variety I grow out-performs and out-flavors both Albion and Seascape. I have berries May-July and August-October. If you ever want runners I'm in Michigan and can help to work out royalties with university and get your farm going with some.

Use Masterblend for the strawberries. Mix 1 gram per gallon, 1 gram of calcium nitrate and 1/2 gram of Epsom salt. Add a very little EDDHA iron. You should have about 300-400 ppm + base water ppm. Once they have been established about 6 weeks jump the fertilizer to 2 grams per gallon.

supply chain foods is why food actually cost money. if everyone had a garden at home producing food people would only spend maybe 15 minutes a day on their own crops and have unlimited food. the problem with supply chains is oversupply and artificial inflation of cost is from export and exchange of suppliers distributing. Free food creates cost when you don't grow it yourself. I grow my own hydroponic foods and some outdoor foods and plants. Indoor grown hydroponic plants can be on a cycle growing year around. Preservation of foods is so easy when you have too much growing. waste nothing and reuse everything. I don't know why there are people starving in this world because its so easy. people who farm for money only makes cost of living go up.

I have a greenhouse and I grow several types of hydroponic tomatoes, lettuce and three cucumber types. The produce is to die for. When you hear people talking about hydroponic produce taste bland or like water this is a tactic used by conventional growers to keep people from buying hydroponic products. What you need to realize. Is that hydroponic growers can produce more food faster using less space than conventional growers and better quality products without the use of harmful chemicals. So I guess if I were still a conventional grower I would scare people away from my competitors products as well. So it’s best to try it for yourself and steer clear of the many rumors that are far from truth.

Where did you get your containers that you grow your products in. Like to see if I can order some for me!! Joe from Springfield Mo.

hi Joe, those are from CropKing they are not listed on the website you have to call them to purchase. Let them know we sent you and they will take great care of you.

Love your videos so informative. Is there anything I can do to make my hydroponic strawberries sweeter?

[@HomegrownPassion]

make sure your ph and ec are right where they need to be...let them get cold at night and they will get sweet...oh let them vine ripe as much as you can
