Just a comment on Erin's original post: phals grow faster if kept warmer, not cooler.

The thing to do is give the plants a long period of warmth to grow and build up stores, then expose them to cooler periods to initiate spiking - a few weeks will do. The result will be bigger, better, and more flowers.
