Potato Yield Experiment '16

A single potato cut & cloned into several different potato colonies.

This experiment started out by cutting the potato eyes (clones) from one potato, and using rockwool to propagate them.
I will be using several mediums and methods to test the growth habits of the potato cuttings. Using the cuttings from one single potato helps to ensure equality among the potato experiments.



Growing Methods Include:

Growing in Coco
Growing in Peat
Growing in Soil
Growing Hydroponically
Growing Aquaponically
