2022 Giant Sweet Potato attempt, 1 slip!(New total weight record!)(Hawaiian Sunshine) - 170 days

Here's my giant/huge Sweet Potato attempt this year! Using 1 slip & 1 entire raised bed! (120cm x 120cm x 30cm) & 170 days of growth! Variety: Hawaiian Sunshine (white skin, purple flesh)

I can say this was an extreme success!!! Holy moly! So in 2020 i attempted a large Sweet Potato root/harvest(150 days, variety: Northern Star), and got a single root at 3.5kg & a total weight short of 10kg! So this time, I was hoping to either grow a single root over 4kg or a total weight at least over 8kg! I didn't get a large volleyball sized root, but a total weight of 18.7kg is absolutely INSANE!!! xD :'D

Technically i harvested this 4 days early,(so 166 days actually) but it's just 4 days + we are scheduled to have a week of rain(which has just started the night of harvest) so, decided to harvest it now! xD

I was worried about this harvest as the leaves were still pretty green, the white variety for me is the worst one, you really have to wait for the leaves to turn yellow, unlike the other varieties, I've harvested this variety in bags(2018, 19, 20 & 21) around 120 days and some produced absolutely nothing xD But I've got a harvest from a bag from this variety so it's not the size, just high nitrogen priority! + i was also worried about some Sweet Potatoes being eaten as a mouse was housing this garden bed -_- it was pulling out a lot of dirt, but it seems nothing was eaten so I'm glad, phew!

Speaking of having leaves that are still pretty green, i don't think this plant reached the heaviest it could have been(could it have reached over 20kg before turning yellow?), but 170 days is pretty long already + i think going any further might just harden the roots and make them stringy, the single giant from 2020 attempt i got was pretty normal, no strings!(150 days) so i think only big ones that are really old (over 200 days?) Is why they get stringy, hmmm!

Anyway, gonna give these out to family & friends, possibly neighbors too! My next giant Sweet Potato attempt, i will use Northern Star variety again, as it seems only that one has a higher storing capacity per root! & i love me some hugeee Sweet Potatoes to harvest, it's extremely exciting & to break a personal record! :D

Here's all my attempts! i will make sure to update them all! :
