Can you grow strawberries hydroponically?
Absolutely. Hydroponic strawberries produce fruit year-round regardless of weather. NFT and Dutch bucket systems work best, producing cleaner fruit without soil-borne diseases. Many commercial strawberry farms now use hydroponics.
How long do hydroponic strawberries take to fruit?
From transplant, expect first flowers in 4-6 weeks and ripe fruit by 8-12 weeks. Once established, plants produce continuously for 2-3 years with proper care. Day-neutral varieties fruit regardless of season.
What nutrients do hydroponic strawberries need?
Use a balanced hydroponic nutrient at EC 1.0-1.4 during vegetative growth, then switch to higher-potassium bloom formula (EC 1.6-2.0) once flowering starts. Maintain pH at 5.5-6.2 for optimal nutrient uptake.
