Yeah... but I've had bad luck "forcing" them to sprout early. Weak growth=, rots,  both wet and dry - the slow wasting away at room temperature wit=hout growth ever occuring, ect. On the other hand, I could not stop bare =ringens and A-10 tubers from sprouting in the fridge; and now triphyllum =and griffithii are forming root collars and fattening up their shoots. I =hope that like the ringens I potted and put back in the refridgerator, th=at once in soil, they will proceed to an intermediate stage and pause the=re. Hopefully there will not be any deletrious effects from this.
