tuber issues II

i am relieved to say that after a full day in the breeze from a fan the leaves on the early blue have mostly uncurled...i don't see any more yellowing and there is good new growth at the tops of the plants...they will be on a strict water rationing program at least until they begin to set tubers in around in about twenty-nine days...then it's outdoors for the next generation...outdoor plants indoors aren't especially touchy but i have to do more work on learning the parameters of their indoor needs...this has been a cobbled together experiment born of a failed storage project..well not failed...they did actually keep for the four month standard storage duration of andean tubers...i just asked them to do too much...like all dna, potato dna is determined stuff...here's hoping it helps pull us through the next fifty days or so...more as it comes up.
