Yes, I've tried both Betalux and Poranek.
Can't say much about parthenocarpy in Betalux.
Just two good reliable early tomato varieties. Betalux is earlier and have sent out dozen of Betaluz seeds abroad for trial and via SSE.

First grew it in the middle of 2000s. It is quite popular in Belarus for growing outdoor.

In my window, it looks like this. Seedlings have six or seven true leaves.

I made a big mistake. I did not back up the files on my computer. Thursday collapsed hard disk on my computer and all files from 2017 (including photographs) are lost. Beautiful Birthday Gift.

Vladimir, I truly feel for you!

I am guilty of putting off backing up too. I was pretty good this summer when I was adding the pictures, but I've got half done edited projects now that should be backed up. Thank you for the reminder!

Maybe someone who is good with computers can get your information off the disk? Don't give up too quickly!

Hopefully,

Today I covered the window frame. The windows are not very clean, but they have to wait for the first spring rain. From tomorrow I will begin to measure the temperature in the hotbed and also outdoors (I have two Dataloggers). With us night temperatures around -6 ° C daily just above 0 ° C now.

Vladimir, do you load the bottom of the hotbed with some rotting manure under the top layer of soil or just get heat from the sun heating the soil?

Last year I had one hotbed and one cold frame. Preparing the hotbed in the spring gave me enough work (horse manure, leaves, sinking with hot water with nitrogen fertilizer, etc.). I put the cold frame on the bed and planted the tomatoes. Finally, I did not recognize the difference. This time, I fertilized the soil in the autumn, and when the optimum time is over, I just drop the tomatoes.

PS.: Today, the whole day is snowing - the cold frame is under the snow

Lovely plants against a backdrop of snow... I hope it will be gone by your planting date.
