fruit. Short-day varieties can be grown over the fall-winter if you keep the
day length under 12 hours. Short-day varieties are normally sold in the fall.
Some short-day varieties include Camarosa, Chandler, Oso Grande, Sweet
Charlie, and Douglas.
Also consider if you are growing strawberries in a backyard garden; you
could propagate some runners or lift some plants from the garden in the
fall and plant them to your hydroponic unit. Store them in the refrigerator
for 3 to 4 weeks to induce dormancy. Stressing the plants in the garden will
also cause them to go dormant and thereafter be able to resume growth in
your hydroponic unit. Stress them by reducing the watering and fertilizing.
Transplant them to your hydroponic unit by mid- to late September.
