Question: Nitrate of Soda & Nitrogen

[PaganRich]

Greetings
Very simple question to which I have been unable to find an answer.
Has anyone tried using nitrate of soda as a main nitrogen source in feeds for cannabis and if so, how did they fair. I appreciate there is a certain level of acidity and am curious to know if this proved an issue. I have been looking for replacement sources of nitrogen as the Peruvian bird shit I`ve been using is getting impossible to get over here these days...I need a nitrogen level of N-12 roughly though nitrate comes in at 16 I have read
Any information would be appreciated

Howdy PaganRich, it has been a long time since any chemistry class, but I would not introduce any compound with sodium in it to my plants. Potassium nitrate (wait, no, might get you on a terrorist watch list!) or potassium nitrite, I think, would be a better choice. Have You tried worm castings instead of guano?

Pagan I've had pretty good results with "Alaska Fish Fertilizer". I use it all through my vegging stage.

DW2 I think I might harm myself, I`m a bloody liability on occasions but that was really interesting. I like stuff like that. X-15 rocket fuel, sounds almost like fracking but in reverse. Thanks DW mate

[PaganRich]

kingfish Yeah, Daas said the same so I`m definitely gonna have a butchers at that. Looking like the easiest and simplest option for me...thanks KF

Yeah Timothy McVeigh would attest to that if he could. He is currently occupied. He was last seen being the master of his fate in Terre Haute, Indiana. Riding a lethal injection gurney into eternity!

I'm stoned and trying to make sense of this

[starramus]

“Potassium nitrate (wait, no, might get you on a terrorist watch list!)” Used in McVeighs fertilizer bomb in the Oklahoma City bombing. He quoted Invictus in his last words handwritten if I remember correctly. See I’m not stoned. Reality is a bigger trip!

Great stuff, but so is dead rotten fish, of any kind. Thats all we ever used in our outdoor grows, you just got to bury it deep, or some wild critter, like a coon, will dig it up.

Lol daas I've always buried fish for outdoor grows. Found the Alaska at a local hippy shop. By far better than what I've been doing not sure on what fish is used but its great stuff

PaganRich shit is shit, lol we know lots of folks that grow monster size, beautiful tomatoes, on top of their septic tanks.

D.A.A.S.69 Very true D though for a lad contemplating a Greek salad today, a tad disconcerting
