VIDEO: Potato Growing Underground Time Lapse – 92 Days


Super excited about the massive harvest i got from this one, totally worth 3 months 🙂

At 0:49 you can see when the fungus gnat larvae are starting to munch on everything that’s underground. Probably ate some tiny potatoes as well in the process.

if i knew i would have waited a few more weeks so the potatoes would have been a bit bigger. But it didn’t look like it was going to produce flowers or anything so i decided to dig it up.

  1. As a professional farmer that specifically loves to grow potatoes, the potatoes aren't ready to come up until the entire plant has died. Also, the production of potatoes is completely independent of the flowers/seeds. Potatoes themselves aren't in fact seeds, they're tubers, they propagate themselves from root.

  2. I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS. Recently, I've been watching a lot of potato harvest idk why it's satisfying for me. Maybe bc it has surprises. I hope you'll make one for garlc and onion. Just curious what's happening under the ground haha

  3. Looks like you needed more potassium to produce more potatoes. A real fun experiment would be to grow potatoes in all clear hydrogel with a light barrier on top to prevent greening of the potatoes. The light in the "soil" could be limited to only the flash of light to take the time lapse pictures.

  4. Next time, you should try to grow a fast growing invasive plant, like japanese knotweet, which has really big and strong roots. It would be very interesting to see it.

  5. Though I’m not sure if they bloomed or not but usually if you wait for the potato flowers to bloom and fully die then a week after you’ll have large potatoes

  6. Obligatory potato joke: Joe, Fred, and Bob are running from the cops. They find 3 potato sacks and decide to hide in them. The cops find the potato sacks which now have the 3 men in them. The cops give the first bag a kick: Bark bark! Says Joe. The cops kick the second sack: Meow! Says Fred. The cops kick the third sack: Potato potato! Says Bob. The cops arrest Bob and take him to jail.
