I'm growing strawberries, at least trying to and sweet baby watermelon. Have a hydroponic set up w/2 tiers. All planted 3/19/26 with strawberries and watermelon in the same tank and tomatoes in the other.
Need help/advice, first time doing hydroponics. The ph has been good, I test it and adjust if needed every couple days and when adding water. Using standard AB nutrients. Somewhat recently added an aerator to bottom tank.
Tiny tim tomatoes on the top shelf are already flowering and growing tomatoes. (They're not the issue)
The Strawberry plants aren't growing, like they sprouted and are just hanging out now.
-Could they be duds?
-Should I not have planted these two fruit in the same tank?
The watermelon is growing like crazy and staying green after adding aerator to tank.
-Should I trim off the dead leaves from pre-aerator if the stems are still green?
– If so where do I trim them? (As it's finally growing im nervous to mess with it) Do I trim right under dead leaves or where it connects to vine?
-Are the tangles off the vine supposed to curl up tight like a spring or into a ball?
Should I be using different nutrients? If you have a recommendation let me know.
Please help!
