Hello veggie friends...
Well I definitely have more experience growing other things but am goona give strawberries a go her in the new year... My efforts serve two purposes really.. 1. I can provide my daughter with her favorite fruit, and 2. I can learn about strawberry cultivation on a small scale so later I can amplify it...
You see I have this dream of getting some property ( soon ) and setting up a big greenhouse and growing strawberres as a way to support my family...
( maybe a couple years down the road).. The rat race aint cuttin it for this kid anymore.....Let em have their world, I got mine and it's a nicer place to be......
Anyhoooo. I met a guy a while back who does pretty well with hydroponic lettuce, and herbs...He makes a good living and gets to interact with plants and nature all day every day.... Kinda my inspiration in this endeavor...
In any case enough stoned ( I'm toasted) babble.......... Any of you have any experience with strawberries indoors...If so what varieties?....How many punnets per plant were your averages?
I am thinking of running a sealed room with coco/earth worm castings beds and maybe 6-8 plants. I will more than likely use an old 400 watt hps in the room that will be well ventilated and exhausted. As far as varieties, I am looking at everbearing types like, Fort Larimie, Quinalt, and Seascapes... Sweet Charlies and Caramosa's might be something to give a try down the road.....
Any and all feedback is welcomed...
