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.

Amazing! That harvest can fill a family of one hamster for 1 hour!

If you do potatoes again remove all eyes but one to get bigger (but not as many) potatoes(keep all eyes on for LOTS of tiny potatoes).
For good potato growing use lots of compost, don't overload with any nitrogen fertilizer(gives lots of leaves), your plant threw A LOT of its energy into leaf production and did nothing for the roots.
Use a phosphorus rich fertilizer (for root growth) and potassium (for overall plant health).
Even if you don't fertilize with anything top it with compost every couple weeks and it'll do great! Mainly just use lots of compost ^_^
PLZ try potato again, would love to see if this helps!

We found this out; the foilage must die before you dig them. The first year we planted potatoes, we only had tiny potatoes because we dug them while the foilage was green. The next year we waited until the foilage almost completely died back before digging and we had a very good harvest. Patience is key.

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.

The fact that it only took a couple of seconds for the potato to fully grow is amazing.

I was in awe watching the process, but my heart dropped when the harvest was revealed.
😟☹️😖

I just plant whatever potatoes at home that have started growing roots. They are all over my garden. Purple, rose, white, yellow, russet. It's like finding easter eggs. You never know for sure where they are and it's fun when you find a bunch.

It would be cool to see a whole behind the scenes video on your setup, show us your lights, the room you're growing in, types of soil, etc.

[nicomeier]

WOW! You sacrificed one medium sized potato to end up with three very small ones!

[WormsvsTHEWORLD]

Such little potatoes at the end. Great time lapse.

I have not been to a movie theater in 4 years. But this... this, I will watch.

Props for the cameraman for staying and watching the Potato grow for 92 Days, that's dedication right there.

I can't believe the musicians were able to play this song that slowly over a period of 92 days. My hat is off to them!

[goullet]

The whole production was incredible on this one. The music played so well off of the growth. Immaculate editing

[Lord_Baphomet_]

The fact that a plant is just able reabsorb their leaves is so beautiful and fantastic.

[JohnySeen]

Absolutely love how it stretches out its roots first to check how much soil it's got to grow more potatoes. It's just so therapeutic and funny at the same time to watch 😅😊

This is the only channel that actually explains why it didnt upload content, its amazing

I did the same thing as you, but in potato bags. The first one I opened was EXACTLY the same as your video- 1 potato the size of a marble after like 4 months. I left the other 2bags alone and a month later I got about 6 potatoes the size of a golf ball. So I’m leaving the last bag for another month to see if that one does any better and next yr I’ll try to do it right

It really demonstrates how much energy is packed into a potato, given that all those roots were deployed in the absence of photosynthesis!🌿🍃

Fun fact. This scene was all improvised. The director intended for the potato to just sit there but out of on the spot inspiration it started to grow roots and sprout at the top. It was such a great moment he decided to keep it in the film
