Forcing daffodil bulbs

I am new to this and I'm having a problem. I am using a glass container with water in the bottom, where the bulb sits above the water. For some reason, it grows perfectly and when the leaves are about 2" tall, it starts flowering. The same thing happened with my hyacinth bulb.

I just read that when you start them, you're supposed to leave them in a dark cool place for a few weeks before you bring them out into the bright light. Is that true? Mine have been in the bright window since the beginning.

COuld that be the problem?
