Default Phals in S/H not yet established but spiking... should I stop them

About a month ago I moved a couple of Phals to S/H and they are not yet really established (although new roots have been growing). This is part of my first experimenting with S/H.

Today I noticed that they are both just starting to spike (we have had a cool spell which I think triggered it).

I'm not confident in the root systems of these plants. Currently they still have the old root system, most of which is still intact but I'm expecting this to start dying off and while new roots are growing they are not established in the S/H yet.

Should I remove the spikes to try and get them to concentrate on roots, or should I let them spike
