Is this a strawberry fungus/disease?

We are growing hydroponic strawberries, lettuce, cukes and tomatoes but the strawberries look awful! At first the leaves look a little bronzed and burned around the edges. The leaves become almost white growing in the center and when I pull them out and plant them in the ground they don't recover which makes me think it may be a disease. We are using strawberry specific fertilizer so I don't think it's that.

They produced berries to begin with but now the berries are smaller and smaller. It appears that the buds are brown & crispy.

There are strawberry plants growing under the hydro gutters and they look fantastic though they have no flowers.

We had some growing hydroponically in the greenhouse and they were the first to look bad. Any ideas?
