Yeah man it hit close to home and I see it a lot. I personally wanted to crank mine to 100% and keep it there and keep it close because more is better!! Yeah, not the case lol

I mean you can, you just have to be prepared to feed heavy and have the environment down to a T. But regardless, DLI is DLI and should be kept within parameters. Sometimes those APPs can be misleading and I trust my instinct over an algorithmic app.
I would suggest to the OP, like you said, please do not flush your plants. Your stripping the food from your soil and will only cause you thr need to feed more sooner.
But, please if you could let us know the light you’re using, distance, and intensity currently.
