Hi David,
Cool! Well I am all in for experimenting. Thanks for sharing those ideas!
I really do like to keep Skagit Valley Gold in a constant production mode if I can. I am thinking that by staggering the planting dates this year then I can have tubers to save for seeds much later than last year without worrying too much of the dormancy. I have 9 seed tubers now that all look similar to the one I took the spouts. Now I will have to try to take cuttings from one plant and see if I have sucess. I've done this with coleus, geraniums and mint.
If this fails I have some rooting hormone for trying a second time later in the season before tomato planting starts. Once I have all the plants in the ground the experiments fade since my gardening time is tied up.
PD. I am using T8 flourescent lights on 12-14hrs a day. My soil media is soiless potting mix with a sprinkle of mycorrizae.
Wendy
