Razz0r Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 Thought I'd share these and get pics of the green house tomorrow. Got some strawberries from Bunnings, soil was crap and they were not producing so I repotted them in to my own soil mix and got rid of gnats they seem to have. Put them in a tent with a 130w veg CFL and a 24w 5600k CFL. Had about 8 so far - very juicy and sweet. just water and a guano feed every now and then. They seem happy Also kicked off veggies in the small seahawk tent - took 3-4 days for these to pop - meant to take a week. they are in a 50/50 soil \coco mix, sitting on a heat tray with 4 x 24w T5 purple fluoros CabbageBaby CumberCherry tomatoes BroccoliCauliflowerCapsicumBasil which is happy and some other herbs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestFarmer Posted July 3, 2015 Report Share Posted July 3, 2015 Love the berries idea , I was looking at doing them too , but also looking at blueberries and Goji Berries as there is some scientific data that show they are supposed to be good for the body .
