The META GROW PROJECT: How to Grow the Best Strawberries, Ongoing

For the past 2 years, I have been hunting the most delicious strawberries in the world. This includes buying all the exotic berries I could find at high end supermarkets, traveling to different strawberry farms in the U.S. and even importing $20 berries from Japan. From all the strawberries I have reviewed, there is absolutely a difference in quality with each strain, but what I found interesting is that every batch had a clear variance in sweetness and flavor. consistent with every batch is the inconsistency in flavor. Given that some of these strawberries were grown from tissue cultured clones, I believe it’s a safe assumption that flavor and sweetness is more than simply genetics. This is the inspiration to this project and before I start growing out high end strawberries, I’m going to attempt to figure out what makes a strawberry delicious in this project. Welcome to the META GROW Project where I will conduct a controlled home experiment comparing 4 different mediums with 2 different types of strawberries. Every factor and variable of growth will be recorded and this project will be treated like a scientific journal complete with a protocol so the grow conditions and feeds can be emulated. Join in on this grow project and watch how I discover how to grow the most delicious strawberries ever.
