That's assuming your nitrates don't continue to climb / increase along the way via heavy feeding etc.

The first course of action would be to find out what's causing your high nitrates and then come up with a solution and path forward. You don't necessarily want to drop your nitrates that far that fast, nothing good happens fast.
