Why mix with another salt solution? I think it would be better to add it one does at a time. Those of us that do add Nitrates have not found that continues Nitrate additions are necessary. Calculate the amount of nitrate you desire and add half. Test and observe. Then continue until NO3 is where you desire. Once you are in the zone additional NO3 may not be needed for some time. I feel you would get better results from single applications as NO3 doesn’t fluctuate/drop like ALK/Cal once you have reach an saturation point.
