I use the Zazzle brand grapefruit seed extract (GSE) instead of Hydroguard. GSE works great--no root rot, no algae.

Root rot: do you always fill up to the top? Maybe let the water level drop a little bit. I have grown lots of strawberry plants in hydroponics and they do well. I grow them in 4inch net pots filled with clay pebbels, water level covers only approx. 1 inch of the net cup.
And maybe you gave up on your plants too early. Strawberry plants are quite robust and can start growing again, even if the roots are damaged.
If you want more tips on hydroponic strawberries: the channel „Ditch the Flock“ has got some good videos, if you are interested.

I enjoy your videos. This is off-topic, but can you please share with your viewers how you manage powering all of your devices? Are you using multiple extension cords? Do you have a lot of electrical outlets on the same wall?

Honestly my new favourite channel, been looking at small systems for a while so my inside is an enjoyable as my outdoors lol, and you're the only person who tests and answers all the questions I had. Just got my idoo 10 pod yesterday, trying lettuce first as it seems the most useful to me, but strawberries are something I've struggled with outside so im hanging out to see ways to make it succeed.

Random thought, do you think maybe because the hole for the seed in the sponge is quite deep, filling with coco peat and having the seed closer to surface might making a shorter stem/crown? Less likely for rot to start possibly?

I’ve been waiting on your strawberry video! 🍓

I can’t wait to see what happens with you bare root strawberries

[indoorapartmentgardener]

I'm growing seascape bare root strawberries in my aerogarden bounty basic. The roots are healthy and I have berries already. Mine are only 25 days old. Strawberries don't like a lot of nutrients.

[aeris]

I use an an air pump and air stone its really cut down on the root rot for me.

[barbaradumler]

I had the same problem with my outdoor strawberries. Some were fine and some weren't.

[NeverStopGrowing]

I have been waiting for this video! The experience was looking promising for a while. Perhaps it’s the PH in your water? Strawberries are so fussy! I am having a hard time right now growing in soil.

[louzancooking]

each plant has its needs. you don't have to use the same fertilizer for all types of plants you also need to buy a TDS to mesure the ppm in your solution and the PH.

[DisabledandPrepping]

Wow I do thank you for all of your experiments that you do. I was wondering and I don't know if you have the answer to it but I was wondering how many gardens it would take to supply one person with vegetables everyday.😊

ive had success with bare root starts from the box store and a lot of success cloning runners in aerogarden..but no berries...i had nice berries inside in a 5 gallon kratky jug but aphids came so i put it outside and had tons of berries so i agree its only really worth doing to start for taking outside in my opinion...but ill keep trying different varieties

[KoopsTech]

Please try again I have been waiting on this video!

Haven’t tried strawberries in hydroponics yet but here’s what I’ve gathered:

You can remove the two black plugs on the back on the grow deck and feed air stones into you aero garden. This will hopefully help prevent root rot.

Another thing I’ve seen people do is use stones in the plastic cup instead of the usual growing media. You want to make sure the crown of the plant is above the rocks a bit so that it doesn’t get wet. It might save you a good amount of time to buy the started strawberry plants and that way you can make sure the crowns are above the rocks when planting

I’ve seen some people say not to use aerogarden fertilizer for strawberries (not sure why), but instead some other fertilizer. I think it was fox farm big grow or something I’m unsure

Best of luck I hope you figure these out!

Thank you again for another great video and information. I know you have many AeroGardens. I started mine in December and I'm wondering how long they last, Do you have any that stopped working? Do you know how long the Harvest basic will last? Thanks🙂

[teenermeener]

If you ever figure it out please let us know.

Do strawberry plant attract ants? Also does stevia plant attract ants?

[MAGNUMTIZED]

Too much nutrients I only give my plant nutrients when the water gets low😢
