Beautiful. You discuss brown root rot too! I’ll be paying closer
attention to your channel. Great job brother.
Brock from greenhouse project says that what he uses & has good results. I
just didn’t have any food grade peroxide at home & curious if bleach would
work. Thanks for commenting & watching ! Larry

They look great, but how are you going to over winter the plants. Are you
planning on replanting every year?. And did you start these from seeds?. I
am assuming they are ever bearing strawberries.
Oh snap! Congrats on 100,000 views Larry! Well done sir!

Hi Brock, I buy them as strawberry plants & rinse the roots to get them
started. Part 1, I show how I start them. I poke a hole in the net cup to
get the roots to reach the water in the pipe. No need to raise & lower your
water level. Great tip on the peroxide- I wanted to try that next. Bleach
seems to work really well- no deaths yet lol. Larry

I’ve always had a time with the pithium in my nft bro. seems like they have
a tendency to heat up. I’ve been running a little bit of food grade
Hydrogen Peroxide in the system once a week and that seemed to really hold
it at bay. Larry when you get your straw berries are they in soil? do you
rinse them off before the net cup? they look fabulous bro 🙂
Hi Johnny, I transplant them into a raised bed at the end of summer. Yes
they are everbearing – Seascape. Thanks for commenting & watching. Larry

Good tips Larry! Does the system use chlorinated tap water normally? So
it’s the heat that causes the root issue? If so, would lighter colored
pipes help reduce the issue?

I think white pipes would be the way to go. Heat causes the bacteria to
grow. I use well water. If you stay on top of your cleaning its very easy
to manage. 🙂

Thanks for the good tip. Do you think hydrogen peroxide would work as well?
Awesome Larry, I’m going to take the portable nft out of the GH and do
strawberries if I can still find some. if not, next year as it’s just to
hot in the GH. I’ll wind up adding another 10 dutch buckets in the nft’s
place 🙂 Thanks bro I was really unsure as to how to approach the
strawberries. 🙂
