Day 32 of the Potato Tower Experiment. The odds are stacked (pun mildly intended) against the spuds. It's hot and the light is poor, but we have consistent growth. It appears that the Potato plants are working really hard to get the light they need to produce a little something for me.
The Big Difference
This update is now 15 days after the last update. The one main thing that I'm doing different now compared to then is that I'm not turning the tower any more. Here's what I noticed. the plants were bending and twisting to reach toward the light. Now that they are long enough to reach for it I decided to stop confusing them by twisting the tower. I found one position that would put most of the smaller plants toward the main source of light, then left it in that position. The rest of them will reach as needed for the duration of this experiment.
