FWIW, its really hard to say what might have caused your spike issues. Change in weather maybe?
Id say just make sure your plant is isolated from drafts and temperature differential. Eg drafts of cold air into a warm house. Then study it closely over time. You'll soon learn what local conditions trigger flowering. Sometimes spikes start early and abort for whatever reason.
At a certain level the daylength/temperature debate is a bit academic for folks living at more extreme latitudes. The light and temperature change at the same time and if the plants conditions are dominated by your local conditions (eg they aren't in a grow room or light supplemented greenhouse,) then they will respond to whichever of the two triggers them. What the academic study does tell you is that you don't need to worry about growing your plant in fairly constant temperatures, eg in your home. The light changes are sufficient, they don't need to be coupled with a temperature drop.
