Sweet Potato Slips

[kath]

My sweet potato slips have been growing indoors for over a month. The potatoes are toothpicked and hanging into mason jars. Some of the leaves now have these yellowish bumps on them- sometimes on the top, sometimes on the underside. They squish very easily and that smells bad. Not noticing any insects and the slips otherwise appear normal and healthy. Does anyone know what this is and if I should just remove affected leaves, wash leaves, spray or ignore?

I wonder if it's edema? I have something similar on two of my pepper seedlings that are growing inside.

Hi, Linda- I thought of that but wondered why more leaves aren't affected and why the lumps are sometimes on bottom, sometimes on top. Had edema affect my peas one super rainy spring. I'll google it and see what comes up. Thanks for your suggestion.

Well, on ornamental sweet potato vines they show white areas, not raised bumps. On the other images that showed up for other types of plants, I see evidence of the same types of bumps, so I'm thinking you're right. On my English peas, the top leaves of the vine just looked dark and water soaked.

Guess we'll just ignore this!
