This is my first grow so I have some doubts.
Growing in an Organic compost potting soil mix
Also Growing in a 5gal bucket or (Space bucket)
Using Lotus Nutrient as my source to feed the plant with distilled water
The plant is currently in week 4 of Flower as of today 08/29/20.
Genetics: bag seed (so no really sure)
So I fed my plant nutrients on 08/24/20 and the run off results were as follows: pH 6.4-6.5 and PPMs were ranging 1550-1580ish. I watered with no feed (pH of water was 6.6 and PPMs were 20-40ish) on 08/26/20 and the run off results were as follows: pH ranged from 6.3-6.4 and PPMS ranged from 1220-1250. Which is good as it means the plant is up taking nutrients. But now the problem was yesterday 08/28/20. When I watered the plant again with no feed (I used the same water from 08/26/20) the results of the run off water surprised me. The pH stayed the same ranging from 6.3-6.4 but the PPMs also stayed within the same range as the other day which was around 1220-1250.
Am I experiencing a nutrition lockout? Or could it be a salt build up? Any advice would help tremendously. Thanks in advanced.

Let's see what the PPM is next time you water. Often times if you get similar readings like that back-to-back it's actually nothing to worry about.
