Strawberries Question

[MM2K6]

Hi

I planted some strawberry tops in my seedling tent, because they were delicious! do you think they will produce fruit under my cheap china LED's from my other posts? I want strawberries all year round and I'm trying to repurpose my crappy lights

Yeah they'll be perfect for strawberries

Awesome! waiting for the seeds to pop, from reading takes around 2 months. Been in for 2 weeks.

I've tried to germinate alpine strawberries before.

From memory berry seeds need to be winterized (seed stratification), they need a cold snap before they germinate. Some put them in the fridge but I have no experience with it.

I've tried growing a few varieties and have found most are really sensitive and die off easily, but I have found a hardy strain that has dealt with bad conditions for a few years https://www.bunnings.com.au/100mm-s...u58wd1KkmCxPEsnNM8UrJtsjG5KZcUZX-kmHEUABKgCAk

Hopefully you can get your seeds to germinate but if they don't I'd recommend the pink ones

I grew strawberries with a small spiderfarmer SF300 so yes. Cheap Chinese lights will grow
I have mine outside now but I plan on setting up more.

just something to think about , probably the best thing for your health is to only eat what is in season , eating the same thing all year round although beautiful to taste most likely not good for you

Are they sprouting? little green bits in picture, ETA is about 15 days away from sprout according to times.
