This thread inspired me to pull some sprouts this past season. Some extra seed potatoes had made various sizes of sprouts from tiny ones with roots to 14 inchers. I pulled them off by hand, separating multiple sprouts coming from one eye. Anything with roots sprouted fine in the cell packs I put them in but the ones in the 2" to 4" size seemed to do the best. The long ones I cut into 4" to 6" pieces and stuck them in the potting mix upright, like a cutting. These were put under lights and within two weeks pretty much everything was sprouting leaves and looking like a regular plant. Amazing. A few did dry up. The original potato usually still had additional sprouts left and was planted later. Plain coir was used as potting mix and all planted in 3 packs. A great way to utilize sprouts forming too early. I took no data on performance of sprouted plants vs. regular seed potatoes, however friends that got the plants asked for them again this year.
