Never had much luck when I planted a few strawberries. So this time I ordered 100.  These are some of the ones that went into hydro, 90mm PVC DWC(kinda).      Running them on AP water with a dose of seasol. After a few days the new leaves are starting to show. Also planted some in AP and wicking beds. |

I've never tried growing strawbs from cuttings but have had these guys sitting in pots around the original plant for some weeks, I cut the feeder vines today and placed them in the garden...I hope they grow but don't know if i should of put growth hormone on them or not  I figure if I keep them moist they just might grow......Anyone have any ideas

As long as they started rooting they should be fine. If they haven't got roots yet, you will have to keep an eye on them. So they don't dry out. |

Strawberrys dont realy do well in ap eventually you will have to salt your system [yes i know they grow there ] its best to do like Gnash and grow them in a pot and alternativley water them with seasol water worm wee what ever and they like pottasiam |

Or design the AP system so you can isolate the strawberries and run it on pee or urea while you salt the rest of it. |
