Chitting Seed Potatoes
« on: February 21, 2011, 14:53 »
I have had my earlies chitting for a couple of weeks in a cold dark loft. they are moving too quickly for my liking so how can I slow them down.

My main crop are still in the packets and are not showing yet these are still in the same loft area. How long should I leave them before I start to Chit them????

Your problem is the dark, they need to be somewhere cool & light. The chits are being drawn in their search for light. If they are too long, you can rub them off & chit again. I would set up your lates now, so they don't suffer the same fate.

I've moved this post to GYO as it's more relevant there, please pop back to the Welcome Forum and introduce yourself.

Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?
