No more loudwolf sodium nitrate?

hello all. it looks like loudwolf is not selling the sodium nitrate again.

Has anybody found a good solution to getting a new brand?

Wow, thanks for the link.

DIY chemicals were nearly impossible for consumers to buy 20 years ago. Then they became much easier. Now it may begin to become harder again.

I went ahead and bought the food grade sodium nitrate. Thanks for the link Randy.

Wow that’s crazy although Amazon shouldn’t be held liable in my eyes. But very sad never thought of that.

I'm not against selling the individual items, but their algorithms "other people also buy" and recommendations are a big problem. When looking up potassium nitrate (labeled for curing meat) they recommended me the ingredient list for blackpowder with a convenient add all to cart button. Illegal to diy here (also pretty stupid), complete with reviews from idiots complaining about the police ringing their doorbell lol.

And that's still one of the harmless ones compared to others.

You can always just make a diy amino mix and dose that. Someone else on here had shared their blend on one thread.

Any recent sources for clean Sodium Nitrate? We had a huge stock of Loudwolf Sodium Nitrate and after years of using it have run out. I wasn't even aware it was discontinued.

Years ago, I used the Potassium Nitrate, and it did spike the systems Potassium over time.

I use ammonium bicarbonate to boost N, but there are other food grade sources:

Loudwolf still sells Calcium Nitrate, which is what I've always used anyway,,, just FYI in case you want to look into it.

That might work fine.

From the loud wolf website. "The total Nitrogen content is 15.50% (1% Ammonical and 14.50% Nitrate). The total Calcium content is 19%."

Am I reading this wrong, I'm sure I am: 15.5% Nitrogen and 19% Calcium then what is the rest of the 65%.
