The old rule of thumb my mother taught me was a strawberry plant with yellow leaves means the soil is deficient in nitrogen. Leaves that are purple are typically phosphorus deficient, but can also be nitrogen.

I hope this helps.

Thanks Rebecca. I also read a lot that's a nitrogen deficiency. And the only way (organic way) I found was to add some coffee ground. So I did today. Hope that helps.

It seem your substrate is mainly peat moss, no nutes on that... add some guano or organic fertilizer high on nitrogen and micronutrients

Sulfer deficiency also causes similar symptoms. Both are water soluble. Best to include them in regular fertilizing.
