You might want to give them bulb blooming fertilizer -- if the balance of nutrients isn't right, you will just get a healthy plant but no flowers...

I'm just trying things out here myself -- I have my lights in my room where I can keep up with the plants, and they stay warm with me. Since you didn't have luck putting them in a cooler basement, I'll stick with this arrangement at least for this winter, and then see. I was thinking I had put mine in too large a pot if being pot-bound encourages them to bloom, but I think again I'll stick with the pot for this winter and let the bulbs settle in before I try to move them.
