Planting Techniques

Strawberry plants need at least 12–14 hours of bright sunlight or supplementation with grow lights per day once established to stimulate abundant fruit production.

Water quality in a hydroponic system is vital for healthy strawberries. Test water alkalinity and ensure a proper balance of essential minerals.

Water Quality and pH Levels
