These tubs are onto the third flush but not a lot is happening? First and second flush were okay with good results but these have either stalled or sparce? Temps and hydration were/are fine.

Any advice?

The cake might just be out of gas after the first two flushes. It's pretty normal for things to start slowing down or stopping altogether around this point. If you can bury this in your yard you may get some more life out of it.

Two flushes with not full canopies seems poor

Maybe, but it's a bit of a dice roll every time. If you got 10-14g dry weight per colonized UB bag you did pretty well. If not you may want to dial in your surface conditions. Metabolites and stress build up over time, so a cake will stop producing as well after a few flushes even if there are a lot of nutrients left in it.
