@The8thChevron, The fox Farm Feed schedule cites 2100-2310 for the 4th week of 12/12 when growing in soil. I was trying to shoot low, because I usually half strength things as it is. I am pushing more light than I ever have so thought I could go a little higher with the PPMs than half strength. So, you think it's too high and locking out? I do have a fair amount of coco in my soil mix too and the FF Coco feed schedule cites 1470-1610 PPM for this stage of flower. So, you may be right about too high PPM.

1800 is still ridiculously hot. Unless you're reading EC, that is. Assuming its ppms and not EC, you probably have a lockout and need to keep flushing. 1800 EC is still a little hot around 850 ppms, but you shouldnt have to flush more.
