I guess I can't edit my pos... But here is what I've found for nutrients and for pH balancing. Also found this for PPM reading and this chart for correct measurements of pH/cF/EC/PPM. :) Besides needing to drop about 100 bucks on all this, is there anything else I need to know?

I will be putting this on the patio, some direct sunlight in the morning so it wouldn't be too hot.

I have read to change nutrients/water at various intervals. This says every 7-14 days. (But I'm not using that fertilizer?) So I am guessing it just depends, and I should measure the PPM every few days and change when it gets low.

Can't say I've ever tried strawberries Kratke style.

Ican't say enough good things about General Hydroponics Maxi-Gro. They solve that part of it at least. There are other good products--regionally distributed it seems.

Hello, recently I saw a video about growing strawberries actually:
