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.

Dude it's like you made this video specifically for me. Thanks for making this video, there is SO much good info in it.

[@oneseeksalone]

Yeeeeaaaahhhh Boooiiiiiii!!!!!!!iiiiiii!!!!!! Stellar information! You Rock my friend!

[@DitchTheFlock]

Thank you! :D

[@birdistheword1327]

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😊

[@DitchTheFlock]

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

[@birdistheword1327]

@@DitchTheFlock thanks so very much for your immediate reply

[@mikelong3444]

Great info. You shared a lot of informative content with us in the community.

[@MamaMudskipper]

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. 🌱😊🌱

Hello, Thank you for your good information. I want to ask you something for strawberry. How can I send you my suggestion?

[@blueskiesahead01]

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!

[@birdistheword1327]

Hello, can you please tell me what size tent that is??

[@DitchTheFlock]

5x10feet and I think 8ft tall

[@harmonicliving3507]

Great job man thanks for the information.

Great video, just started indoor strawberries too, lot of things to learn but it is exciting.

[@DitchTheFlock]

Best of luck, that is exciting, it is something to look forward to :D you can always keep me updated :) Have a good night!

[@conorhaddock3956]

Which varieties do well under 24h in soil that I could get in uk?

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?

[@t1mmy13]

Okay you talked about this at 10:50 or so, I do have an AC unit, we'll see how things go

[@user-vq5hh9bk2m]

How are you able to afford such a nice setup?

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! :)

[@aphexamine]

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.

[@aphexamine]

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.

[@josephberlin8967]

What about water temp?

[@tomgilchrist3521]

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 :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/gXXcnJicmrigoKs

[@onewith]

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!

[@DitchTheFlock]

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

[@TomHallhomebuyingokc]

What is ec

[@davidquail3691]

what is EC@@DitchTheFlock

[@mornkel2125]

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.

[@DitchTheFlock]

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 :)

hi i see youre useing ts1000 lights , what distance from the plant and what power are the lights and youre time cycle

[@kasondrabolden8757]

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 .

[@DitchTheFlock]

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” kzbin.info/www/bejne/gXXcnJicmrigoKs

[@blessisrael6455]

@@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 ; )

[@PAULAKEITH-m7m]

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!

[@IAMGiftbearer]

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.

[@1FishinAddict]

New sub here. Good info ! Do they do well in NFT or DWC system? Or wash n drain is better for oxygenation

[@Batchat2352]

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

[@i5usko]

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!

Are you able to get the black & ras berries to give fruit year round too?

[@coreymcconnell2329]

So can you do a video on watermelons and what light cycle are they long day short day or whatever day

[@DitchTheFlock]

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

[@coreymcconnell2329]

Why does every KZbin indoor grower, no matter what the plant is, put their gf in the tent in skimpy clothes? 😂😂😂😂

[@DitchTheFlock]

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 KZbin channel is centered around her body
