Awesome video! I planted some blue potatoes approximately 2 weeks ago, haven't seen anything. How long does it take it's 70's day and mid to high 40's at night? I'm concerned, I planted them in a container

hello,thanks for the reply, l have planted a red skin potato, so instead of growing it in the plastic bag your advice is to plant it on the ground? but l live in an apptmt which is not much of sunlight, can l grow it in a terracota pot which is not that big say around 5 ltr size. as for the soil can l use the same soil mixed with cocopeat and some vormincompose it ok? l will try again to plant the red skin potato and resset, can l cut these potato into pcs before planting? as l seen some they cut the cheet potato before planting into the soil. please advice. thank you.
