My Strawberries Grew Faster Than Ever After This Change!

My hydroponic strawberries have never grown this fast! 🍓 After changing up my nutrient mix and dialing in the EC and pH, the results have been incredible — huge berries even in late October. Hey everyone, it’s Katy! I’m back in the strawberry high tunnel today to share an update I’m so excited about. Earlier this season, I struggled with slow growth and smaller fruit, but a simple nutrient tweak completely turned things around. In this video, I’ll show you exactly what I changed in my hydroponic formula, how I manage the pH and EC, and what I’m using for my growing medium. You’ll also see this week’s harvest — I’m picking about 7 to 10 pounds twice a week right now! 💧 Nutrient Changes: Switched to a premixed berry formula and adjusted calcium nitrate 🌿 Medium: Half peat and half perlite, topped with perlite to keep fungus gnats down 🍓 Variety: Albion everbearing strawberries 🌡️ Conditions: Cool nights and balanced nutrients = big, sweet fruit 📅 Next Steps: Keeping production going through December before letting the plants rest for winter If you’re growing hydroponic strawberries, don’t be afraid to experiment a little with your nutrients.
