Kindrag, why do you say the first 12 pages? Just curious. As far as I remember, there's more info further on, but I haven't read it since I first started looking at this forum, before I joined.
It's only 2-3
weeks of lowered temps (10°-15° F) that is required. (I'd suggest reading up on that as well, because apparently theres a light factor that plays in... There was a thread that discussed that recently, actually, and the article that discussed this is referenced there. It's very interesting).
But I would say to let it rest, and don't force it to bloom this year, that was most likely the problem in the first place. If it were me, I'd wait til
next fall, and allow for it to experience the drop in temps naturally then... It is stressed now, because of the nursery forcing it to bloom (that is the condition that all the Phals come in, from the big box stores). They grow them up fast, and then force them to bloom, so that they are able to make money by selling to the BB stores, while in bloom (who wants to buy an out of bloom Phal, after all?) if you were interested.
