spuds

when i planted these happily chitting basadres two weeks ago one had a single sprout and one had two...

in two weeks the single sprout's...

original sprout seems to have stalled and a second has appeared which is beginning to leaf...

in the ensuing fortnight i have covered the spud with two sprouts more thoroughly with soil...

and both sprouts have responded with nascent leaves...i have not been giving them less light as rather more dark...turning the grow lights on during the day and off at night rather than all day light...seems to have slowed the process down a bit which is what i want...slower development...less "leggy" plants...more root, less leaf...we will see if the results in tuber terms are any different round about march.
