Richard the plain yellow did not make it, probably due to my lack of knowledge combined with unbridled enthusiasm..... I have only harvested one of the 'ROSE' variety that I forced with a 12 hr rest in my shop each night. I got 39 pin-pong ball to marble sized from one 8" squat pot. The plants I have in the garden are now covered with plastic hoop house, with marble sized tubers; which I hope to keep frost free till the end of November. I also have about 25 8'" squat pots with many marble sized tubers showing.
The pink, red, and yellow w/ red eyes from you are indoors under lights. They will be potted up to 3 gallon pots this week then turned back to 10 hrs light per day to initiate tuber formation. That should give me a sizable number of tubers to plant out in May.
