Strawberry planting video

I love this video. So great. I posted it on the GH blog, and wanted to let you know that I've added your site to our blog roll as well. Cheers!

Thanks for the linklove We love the GH blog and read it regularly. Great to be considered a friend of GH since we use so many of you guys products every day.

Hey I noticed you were looking for some recommendations concerning your Strawberries. They love a pH from 6.0-6.5 Apply light nitrogen when simulating the return from dormancy; think Spring time in nature. This will occur when you are just putting them in as crowns, as you were doing in your video. Apply moderate levels of Potassium, and light on the phosphorus. Too much P can cause other deficiencies in many Strawberry cultivars. A good, complete Macro and Micro Nutrient, low on the P would be a good all around choice. Happy Growing!

Thanks for the advice Andy. I'll definitely put it to good use.

Hey sorry for the mis-post, that pH range should be 5.5-6.0. Writing too many things at once!

Where did you get the original plants from? I'd like to start this and have some seeds sprouting but it might be quicker to have the bare root plants shipped to me!

Burpee

What size pump have you used in this setup? Also the dripers / sprayers, what are those (product wise)? I've only ever seen the drip rings or drip steaks. From what I have learned the drip rings would be dangerous for strawberries (too much moisture on the crown) and the steaks are mainly for rock wool. I'm going to try growing some under CFL's and see how that performs. I'd assume CFL's would be comparable to the LEDs? Thoughts?

Yea I was concerned about that with CFLs I have found to get good size berries from my grow I need 4UFOs which I'm figuring have an actually draw of about 300W from the plug.

UFOs 4x90W = 360 but actual draw is more like 300
