and I think you 2 are dead on about the yield, since yesterday morning they have been sitting up out of the saucers so no sitting in runoff. i'm noticing a whole lot less runoff per feeding which tells me they are drinking up more like this as opposed to sitting in the runoff all the time. it has to be the issue coupled with that round went to flower before they were really ready rootwise due to just needing to get it going. it blew my mind that the strawberry swole up that big and just deflated once it was cut. I think the next one will be better,they had more veg time,still not quite what i'd like but more, the ones that will go to flower in a few days have had plenty of time to veg & develop a good solid root system. i'm disappointed with the yield but i'm disappointed with some full jars which is one of the best ways one can be disappointed I guess lol.
