Some years I chit my seed potatoes by simply placing them in bright light usually in an egg carton. They often dry out. They grow but look sort of unhealthy.
This year I placed some in a small pot filled with my seedling soil. The soil was just slightly damp. The potatoes grew green sprouts in about two to three weeks. Far greater growth than simply chitting without the soil.
Such an improved method is acceptable my case, since I only grow about 75 plants.
Pot growing about 18 days.
Egg Carton about 20 days.
