Sodium Nitrate in top up water
Just wondering if I could add my sodium nitrate to my Top Up water as a way to add it. Will it mix evenly is the question I suppose. My top up does five days approx so I could add five times my daily dose to it? Any thought/advice?

It will mix right, sodium nitrate is extremely soluble. It might also foster some growth in there. Watch for that.

It isn't zero TDS anymore once you add sodium nitrate.

The potassium nitrate might add a significant amount of potassium over time. That's the only issue that comes to mind.
