Default disappointed with my spikes :(

I hope the title says it all. I have re-flowered 8 of my phals for the first time and I have had the same thing happen to all of them. Good spikes barely any flowers, 4 is the most I've gotten. I have 1 right now that is growing 2 spikes and I'm hoping I will get more than my usual amount of flowers. I'm starting to wonder if there's something that I'm not doing right. My phals have stayed 68-72 degrees celcius since I noticed their spikes and I've alternated between 20-20-20 and 10-54-10 with waterings with a water flush in between, also epsom salts once per month. Could it be that this is their adjusting to my growing conditions and I will get more flowers on next re-bloom, as it will be my second re-bloom with them? I do understand growers get maximum flowers as they know way more than I do. But 3 or 4 flowers is a bit disappointing to say the least. I am glad that I did get re-flowering, but I am wondering if there is something that I am missing. Thanks for the replies
