Of course, when setting up a hydroponic strawberry Tower Farm for commercial purposes, we strongly advise operating in a CEA environment, whether indoors with LED lights or inside a fully climate-controlled greenhouse to optimize the yield.
Strawberries are divided into 3 categories:
June-bearing Strawberries:
June-bearing varieties produce one large crop in late spring to early summer. Known for high yields and large, sweet berries. Best for those seeking a single, abundant harvest.
June-bearing strawberries are usually grown outdoors. When growing strawberries using our hydroponic towers outdoors, we advise you to work with June-bearing varieties. For a list of day-neutral strawberry varieties along with crop yield information, we invite you to read the following article: Growing June-Bearing Strawberries Hydroponically.

Day-neutral Strawberries:
Produce fruit continuously throughout the growing season, unaffected by daylight length. Offer smaller, frequent harvests, suitable for cooler climates.

Everbearing Strawberries:
Everbearing strawberries are two to three smaller crops throughout the growing season (early summer, mid-summer, and fall). They typically produce two to three distinct crops per year—usually in early summer, mid-summer, and fall. Everbearing strawberries for growers who prefer defined harvest periods rather than continuous production.

When growing strawberries hydroponically using hydroponic towers, the climate environment is a crucial consideration to factor into the cultivation strategy, furthermore, choosing the right type of strawberries and varieties is as important.
Climate Control and Crop Selection in Hydroponic Strawberry Cultivation:
When cultivating strawberries hydroponically using hydroponic towers, the climate environment plays a pivotal role in determining the success of the crop. The controlled environment of a hydroponic system allows for precise management of factors such as temperature, humidity, light, and nutrient delivery, all of which are essential for optimal strawberry growth. However, the choice of strawberry type and variety is equally critical, as it directly influences the yield, fruit quality, and overall efficiency of the system.
