Phals inflorescence size?

[mattryan]

I am wondering if anyone has encountered this problem or if it is a culture problem on my part. It always seems with the phals that I am growing the inflorescence is no where near as big as it was when I purchased it. Now I understand I have no where near the optimum conditions as the original grower, but I have re-spiked some of these and the spikes on the second yr of re-spiking for me seem just as skinny. They must be acclaimated to my conditions by now. I have played with the temps more this yr and spiked 2 that I didn't expect to. My conditions 20-14-13 urea free fert all yr. by rays I have been giving 250 ppm. I have kept the temps below 25 celcuis. I don't understand how the spikes are still so skinny. Last year I waited 3 mos for 3 flowers . I don't have this problem with any of my oncs, my twinkle had 7 spikes and my degamora has 7 flowers on the way, which is a first bloom for my I'll post the pics. Thanks for any insight I am willing to try anything at this point.
