SPYDR 1200 Bleaching & Seeds

I have been growing for 3 years under 600 Watt HPS. I get the occasional seed that appears in a bud. This Spydr 1200 is bleaching buds and popping a lot of seeds 100% of the time.

Room Temp : Always 74-78
Humidity : 45% - 55%
Grow Medium : Hydro
Nutrients : 650ppm - 750ppm, depending on flower stage
CO2 : Atmospheric
Stage of Flower : Harvested Yesterday

BML Says to put the light 12" above the plant. In the pic, the light is 31" above the plant, and still bleaching the shit out of my buds. The light on the right is the Spydr 1200, the light on the left is BML's new SpydrXPlus.

If I call BML, they are going to tell me that raising my temps to 80-82 and supplementing 1200ppm CO2 will solve all of my LED specific problems. Any thoughts on this?

Seeds don't come from lighting.

I was thinking the stress of the light could have caused Hermie?

If you're getting bleaching, your light is too close. Stress could possibly cause herms, but from light intensity I've never seen.
