I went to my local Flower farm next door and got a strawberry plant for like $0.65 and this would be my first time trying to grow them indoors along with my Tomatoes so I have them under 4 foot Cool White flouresants for 16 hours a day and just now one of the berries is turning red.

I am starting out doing some aero berries. Right now I just have Strawberries and a native berry that I took cuttings of known as a dewberry.





Those have been in for about 3 days, these have been in soil for about 3 weeks. Also I have them in a shed under 400 watts of HPS but the pots will move outdoors when the season rolls around.




Here is the dewberry, they are like blackberries but bloom earlier and produce tons more.

DEW BERRIES!!!1 i got those in my yard

Matthew I got a question about the Lighting for the strawberries. Do you keep them under HPS lights full time. Im using CFLs so I would use warm white for red spectrum. Or no? please help!
