- Winter Potatoes?! Potato 101 and Growing Potatoes Indoors with Grow Lights | Guten Yardening Winter Urban Gardening
Some of the potatoes from our massive summer harvest of 200 lbs. have begun to sprout (after five months in our cool basement storage location). This is happening in part because we don’t have a root cellar, though we do plan to do some canning in the near future.
Because we have these sprouting potatoes, we see this as an opportunity to experiment with indoor potato planting. We have now planted several of our varieties in both and indoor raised bed and in indoor grow bags, and we are already seeing some excellent growth.
In this video we will talk to you about how to grow potatoes indoors, the process of planting, the medium in which we plant, and the stages of development you can expect from your potatoes. We will also explain the difference between determinate and indeterminate potatoes.
We plan to use this experiment both as a way to produce a new potato crop and as a way to create new seed potatoes for next season.
We hope you enjoy this video! Thank you for watching!

One of the absolute clearest, most informative, down to earth gardening videos ever! No boasting, frills or small talk -- just fabulous facts and simple techniques which are actually shown / demonstrated.
Great video. I just harvested some delicious potatoes that were so creamy and would like to plant them again...im 5b so I think Im going to plant them outdoors and then bring them in if when it gets cold. I really want to continue through the winter so if thise dont make it at least Ill have small potatoes to sow in my growtent in the basement. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you. We will be growing potatoes indoors as well! Stay tuned...
Here is a recent video that we published about growing Fall Potatoes: czcams.com/video/YX30LfVwGoQ/video.html
Can I ask what lights you are using to grow your potatoes with? Cheers!
You have a lot of blessing. Even winter your planntsis healthy
That keeps us happy and keeps us going in the winter for sure. We love being able to still eat fresh greens. I promise, they are so delicious. Thank you so much for watching with us!
Lots of really great info ! I can't wait to see how this turn out . Potatoes is one of my favorite things to grow that is easy . You had a nice variety of potatoes . I always just by 50# bag of what ever Rural King has . We still got 2 big totes full of potatoes from this years harvest . Thanks for sharing !
We are on the exact same page as you for sure. Between potatoes and sweet potatoes, it is hard to pick our favorite but I can tell you that there is nothing quite like being able to replant a harvest and knowing that there is going to be another nice harvest as a result. We have purchased a lot of our seed potatoes from a local organic vegetable supplier in the past, and we have been quite happy with those results. :)
I guessed 11 lbs! 😊. I love all your potato vids, thanks for doing them! Just got a grow tent. Time for winter potato experiments!
Congrats and thank you! Keep us updated?
Another amazing video 👏👏
Thank you so much! We are glad you enjoyed seeing where we are with our potatoes so far! :D Have a great day!
This is a fantastic video - everything I really needed to know! Wow! 😄
We thought we saw potatoes in there. We were close... only a pound and a bit off. That would have been a huge potato. Great video.
When I saw the picture, I was amazed! I mean it was truly huge!
Great video, very informative. I enjoyed watching, it gave me some ideas. I also want to experiment with growing in the winter in bags. THANK YOU.
Happy to see all the potatoes growing healthy awesome informations dear Bro you are awesome 👏🏻 Thank you for sharing Love it 😍 Love from here Take care Have a blessed night ❤️❤️💪🏼💪🏼👊🏻
They are holding their own, that is for sure. :) It will be interesting to see what we get when harvest time roles around. We have a few more months of care, and then we will see. We hope you have a wonderful weekend!
I don't know if I will try growing them indoors, but I do want to try using grow bags, I definitely have some sprouting red potatoes that we were gifted from my brother in laws garden😂 this was a very informative video👍
The best kind of gift is the one that keeps on giving. :) Grow bags have been great for us, when we make sure to water well. That was one of the mistakes we made earlier this season. We had a pretty small yield out of some of our summer potatoes. We corrected our watering, and what a difference out of the last set of potatoes we pulled out of our grow bags. :) Thank you for enjoying!
Excellent video! New subscriber here. Thanks for sharing
Thank you so much for enjoying the video. Do you have a favorite potato variety that you grow?
Sorry...me again...is there a link list for those bags, varieties of soil, etc (with etc. I don't mean your hat, which is great....weare some myself). Blessings to you all.
Here are the links you asked for. :)
The grow bags are here: amzn.to/3u33NSg
The potting mix we used is here: amzn.to/36QKuCX (however we got a really good deal, and I think you can find this for much less in the store)
You can buy the langbeinite here: amzn.to/3mONcxX
You can buy the bone meal here: amzn.to/3kdSp0D
You can buy the Mykos here: amzn.to/3omcun1
Vermiculite is here: amzn.to/3NIAqN6
Perlite is here: amzn.to/3iZA3zG
What I would say is that I think you can probably find some of these for less cost in the store, but you just have to be on the lookout.
I hope this helps. :D :D
great video.
what was the timing for the lights on and off?
with what and how did you feed them?
I was hoping to learn more about how to use grow lights with potatoes. I live in a condo with north-facing windows. One bay window faces east, and then the building blocks the sun after 9:00 AM. Also, it's often overcast where I live.
My potato stems are growing like crazy (lots of stalk but not a lot of leaves), but there's not enough light for them to work on the potatoes themselves.
This is my first time trying this. I was hoping to learn more about how to use grow lights with them. I didn't want to spend any money, but maybe $15 would be okay.
Hi there! I've successfully grown white potatoes that I purchased from non-organic spuds at Food Lion. They say they're sprayed with growth inhibitors, but I got a great harvest last year from raised beds. Prior to that, I had grown a few in containers indoors over the winter, and put them out in early spring to get direct sun. Trying supermarket Russets this time too; I have them hiding in the closet over the winter to see if they chit. I guess the pun with getting store bought potatoes to sprout, is chit or miss. :-p
Hahaha! Well-played with that pun. I think it is definitely possible to grow from non-organic potatoes as well. I would think it would likely depend on making sure you got that initial chitting to happen as you said. I would imagine you will get some great potatoes out of those Russets. We have had good success from storebought fingerlings as well, and I highly recommend giving them a try. :D Thank you for sharing!
🤣😆
None of the potatoes I buy are organic and they sprout like crazy. I've never had a bag that didn't
Is there a video of harvesting the potatoes
Looks great...I thought keeping the potatoes in the garage or basement until the first leaves show up and/or when the green starts dying. Does the plant need light although no green is visible?
I also wonder how the potatoes get pollinated? Last: I have organic potatoes, stored over a year in the basement. They have eyes/sprouts/roots, which looks a bit dry. Would you give them a try? Sorry for stupid questions...I am absolute beginner...
Hello Kris! Thank you for the questions, and sorry for the late response. The potatoes will sprout without sunlight, but I would have them in sun or light as quickly as you can. We keep ours growing with a 14 hour light cycle typically. So, the short answer to your question (if no green is visible) they may grow some without light, but the greens won't grow farther without it.
For the organic potatoes. I would give them a try. We did some growing with some really old fingerling potatoes last season, and they grew. :) The link to that video is here: (if this helps) czcams.com/video/nvVbcRL1tUs/video.html&ab_channel=GutenYardening
hello sir. led strips are usefull for growing patatoes or other plants?
Awesome job PK! Which potatoes have the most and least health benefits?
Thank you so much Mike! Great question. Most of the health in potatoes is determined by how you prepare them, but one of the benefits of growing our own potatoes is that we can be more comfortable when eating the skins, since we know that is where a lot of the nutritional value of the potatoes lies. I would say for overall taste, I love red potatoes. The purple potatoes have more antioxidants, and we have a love for those as well as purple sweet potatoes, but those potatoes can be harder to find. :) We grew some from a bag of organic fingerling potatoes. Quite tasty! I hope all is well with your family!
Amazing....I wondered if you could grow potatoes in your tent
We definitely can, and they look really healthy so far. It will be interesting to see how the tubers develop. I am quite hopeful!
Wat timing cycles did u use in ur grow room?
Do spuds need a veg cycle then a flower cycle?
Critical points for me.
Still tryna find the perfect indoor spud method for full heavy crops.
Please reply.
Great questions John!
Our timing cycle has been 14-16 hours lights on. We did not vary the cycle during the flowering/veg phases, primarily because of all of the other vegetables we have growing at the same time, but you make a great point that this make create a difference in production, especially as we think about what that outdoor growing cycle would be like as the months pass toward maturity. This is something we will certainly take into consideration for future plantings. What has been your most successful method so far?
@@GutenGardening 18hrs lights on and plenty of wind.
Biggest tip with indoor gardening is stay clean, spray ur plants regular, even every other day. Serious one bug in there and in 3 days uve got 1000s.
With spuds they do seem to like less light and defo not to much water.
Still ain't perfected indoor spuds by far but feel it's something that needs cracking and perfecting.
That film The Martian set me off on indoor spuds, also I'm a prepped, feel to crack indoor spuds to perfection cud make many have plenty of foods.
I've grown outside spuds as big as rugby balls before and to get spuds that size indoors wud be awesome.
If u get any good tips on indoor spuds please let me know.
I'm using HPS lights and now down to 400w metal halide bulbs.
My rooms 10ft X 10ft and 600w lights made it too warm. Plus I'm gotta use less electric.
Love HPS lights bcuz of their heat, one bulb can keep my whole bungalow warm so not heating bills. Bills for grow lights do even out, I have Tele on less now cuz I'd soon see foods growing.
Love a growroom wen it's like a jungle me, no better place to sit.
Good growing to u all.
I guessed 10 lbs... A little low, but not too bad. LOL 🤣
What kind of light do you use?
Great question! I think the easiest way to answer that is to point you in the direction of this video where we talk about our different lights, as we use quite a few different kinds throughout the indoor grow area. czcams.com/video/DsDQfdOt8Bg/video.html Thank you so much for watching and asking. Are you growing potatoes indoors now?
What is the light schedule? I'm assuming not 24 hours so how many hours on and how many hours off? I watched the whole video for this information and didn't catch it.
Nice, you will be able to achieve your goal this way 👍🏼
Potatoes do like cold weather and sun but not freeze so should work well if u have enough light
Good vid mate 👍🏼👍🏼
I wish we were a bit warmer here so we could let them enjoy exactly what you are talking about with regard to nice cool weather with bright sun. We are going to do some early planting of potatoes in the spring, so we will see how they do then outdoors. Right now the plants seem pretty happy with the grow lights (if their greens are any indication). Do you have a favorite potato variety?
When buying store bought potatoes is there any way to know if Determinant ?
If you know the variety, you can usually search to find if it is determinant or not. Some of the most common determinates (at least in our area) are the Norland Red and the Yukon Gold, but here is a list of some of the determinate and indeterminate varieties as well. www.gardeningdream.com/the-ultimate-list-of-determinate-and-indeterminate-potatoes/
Best of luck!
Wow that was super useful. I'm am good to go now. Thank You!
Tell me what indoor light I need plz?
Hi Denise Sure! Here is a video that give all the details of our grow light setup and well as links to the items on Amazon: czcams.com/video/DsDQfdOt8Bg/video.html
Be sure to let us know if you have additional questions! Will you be growing indoors this winter?
Im a novice on potatoes and this was awesome!
New sub!
Thank you so much! We have had good success with growing potatoes and sweet potatoes outdoors, so we wanted to transition some of that experience to see what we could do indoors, and so far the potatoes have really taken off. Stay tuned for the harvest in the future! :) Do you have a particular variety of potato that you like the best?
Is compost same as peat moss?
Great question. They are actually pretty different from each other in many ways. I think the easiest way to explain would be to send you to a link from one of the extension offices we have referenced in the past, as they do a really good job pointing out some of those differences. I hope this helps clarify the differences. :) pss.uvm.edu/ppp/articles/peatcom.html
What kind of light
We have quite a few different lights, but these grew under this light.
Link to the Hydroplanet T5 2’ light : amzn.to/385rvlZ
You never mentioned anything about the growlights
Hello,
What do you use for fertilizer for your potatoes
Hello Sheryl,
We use an all purpose organic fertilizer, and then we add bone meal which is a 4-12-0 (which helps with root development). That is our typical base for potatoes.
20lbs
What was your yield?
We got several pounds from this one planting. Actually overall, we were in pretty good shape, and I know you saw one of the other harvest videos, but I definitely think we can do more indoors with the potatoes.
@@GutenGardening Some people in my zone 4/5 are getting five to six pounds from a 40L grow bag - outdoors. They grow German butterballs started indoors and then moved outdoors in June. Harvest is late September.

I like the way you guess! :) I hope you are enjoying the video. Thanks for watching!
I’m looking to do this in uk but don’t fancy having my door kicked in by police they will think I’m growing cannabis 😩
I understand. :( It is so much fun to grow veggies over winter, and I hope you can find a way. :D We have some big plans for this winter coming up. :D Thank you so much for watching!
I did it all last year in
Scotland.. I used to wish they’d come to investigate but never did. I used my spare room for kale beetroot chillies and Pak Choi. This year I’m adding potatoes in buckets and grow bags. Good luck x
