Have we worked out if strawberries do better with fewer water cycles. Towers might dry out too much then.

Mine have fruited better with less cycles, especially since the slugs don't hang around and eat the fruit
Towers might help to keep things dry

+1 Steem..

what kind of cycles are being used? timing wise...

A lot of systems use 15min on 45 off. But I think this keeps strawberries too wet. I'm going to be trying a flood cycle every couple of hrs and see how they go. Depending on the heat it could end up having even more of a dry time period.

I have to say my system is on flood continuously 24/7
and I get heaps of strawbs...
I don't think it is wet feet but could be wrong

I have an awesome one I am using for a small aquaponics system, it's just I am in the US and so is the company I purchased them from but you can order them online and have them shipped. They are really an incredible design and are stackable.
