Hello, this is my second time trying to grow strawberries and I’m running into the same trouble I had last time. Plants start off great, but their leaves gradually start turning brown at the tips until it starts taking over the whole plant. Here’s what I’ve got going:
Drip system running 5min every hour and a half for 12 hours. Coco coir gets damp and then looks ready for moisture by the time the pump turns back on
Water is mostly 8-12-32 strawberry fertilizer from Greenway with a small amount of Calmag, Armor Si, and hydro guard. Keeping pH just under 6.0 and EC just under 1500.
Humidity is between 70-80% at all times. Air temp hits 80 during the day and goes down to upper 60s at night

1500 EC seems really high. That might be the issue but I’m not 100%
edit: also the humidity should be dropped by like 10%, it can prevent transpiration which is how nutrients get pulled through the plant and can cause tip burn because calcium doesn’t get there.
