Hydroponic Tomatoes & Strawberries

[ForgetClassC]

I have recently started a project that is going to be growing 1 tomato plant and 1 strawberry bush. They will each be in a DWC 3 gallon bucket. Now I have learned that strawberries and I believe tomatoes are 'day neutral' that if I understand correctly means they don't need a 12/12 cycle, in fact they like longer lights. So these are my questions:

• I am going to use the General Hydroponics Maxi 2-part powder nutrient system. I have looked into the feeding schedule and it has the description of the ratios per gallon of the 2 mixes, do I initiate the bloom part of the sequence once the plants begin showing flowers? Or should I wait until I hand pollinate the flowers then switch into the blooming part?

• Could they cross pollinate?

• Would having a fan on the plants possibly pollinate the plants enough to produce fruits?

I may have more questions later. Thanks for your responses.
