Setting Up: Start by assembling your aeroponic system according to the manufacturer’s instructions or your DIY plan.
Planting the Tubers: Place each potato seed tuber or cutting into a net pot. Ensure the eyes are facing upwards. If using cuttings, a segment with 2-3 eyes is ideal.
Nutrient Solution: Prepare the nutrient solution by following the manufacturer’s instructions. After preparation, use the pH testing kit to check its pH level. Potatoes thrive at a pH range of 5.2 to 6.0. If necessary, adjust the pH using your pH solutions.
Misting: The aeroponic system will mist the roots at regular intervals, ensuring they receive adequate moisture and nutrition. The frequency of misting can vary based on the system and environmental conditions. Ensure that the roots remain moist but not waterlogged.
Monitor Growth: As the potatoes grow, monitor their progress. Ensure the nutrient solution doesn’t run out and that the pH remains stable.
Harvesting: Once the plants flower and then start to die back, it’s a sign that the potatoes are ready for harvest. Turn off the system and carefully remove the potatoes from the net pots.
