The strawberry died

A project log for GrowInBox

A box that fits in a room, in which plants can be grown.

It's been a long time since I last posted a project log and I've been trying to get myself to writing this one for a long time. I started writing it a long time but my computer crashed mid-log.

Anyway. I left the strawberry resting on the windows sill when I went on vacation.

When I got back it looked worse.


Everything was crunchy. I knew it's over with it.
But that's okay.


I feel disgusted by those pictures. Sorry if you feel the same way.

I cleaned everything and disposed of it and only after that thought of measuring the pH and the EC ... Too bad. Now I'll never know what killed them in the end.

As you can see, algae was quite the issue for me.

I've read that algae aren't a problem when growing with aeroponics, so I'll try that the next time I grow.

I'm planing to make some strawberry clones (from the runners) for hydroponics from the plants that grow in soil outside.

I'll try to have one DWC grow, and one aeroponics grow.

I'm not going to give up this easily :D
