Today i bought both white and red sweet potato tubers to grow. I plan to use the one that sprouts first.
i furthur looked into growing techniques and i need to keep the plants in alot of sunlight. the problem that im going to face is that we are heading into colder months and this means it is not exactly the prime time to be growing sweet potato plants. it requires a warm moist environment to prevent the plant from frosting and spoiling. to minimize this problem im leaving my experiment in my sun room. the room heats up almost immediately and holds warmth longer. at night i plan to keep yellow lights on it to give it warm nights.
as far as watering is concerned i need to water the rooted sprouts immediately after planning and well in the beginning of the growth cycle. when the seedlings appear i can reduce watering but need to keep the moisture level constant.
