Bulbs: Containers for forcing bulbs, water only method., 1 by dmwade

I am having problems with my forced hyacinths in both water and planted in dirt. Those in water get fantastic root system but the bulb only puts up the flower an inch or two and the flower is short and stunted. I am attaching a picture of one that is in a pot but I get the same result in water. This is the 2nd year this has happened to me. When I purchased the bulbs at a reputable garden center the bulbs were labeled "ready for forcing"
Anyone know what I am doing wrong?
