someone was asking me if i knew where i get some nitric acid for growing. i looked it up and they say its used for making fertilizers and also bombs LOL. how would you use this to make fertilizers? do you like mix it in your nutrients? its corrosive with most organic materials. although i guess h2o2 is also. just seems strange to me. could this guy be trying to make bombs? if thats the case than i'd rather not have anything to do with it.

nitric acid is used as PH down , never heard anyone using it to supply nitrogen , soil food mainly uses urea .. hydro food uses calcium , potassium and magnesium nitrates
nitric acid and glycerol is used to make nitro glycerin, maybe you were thinking of that
you should avoid it, it will burn the shit out of you LOL .. it is a dangerous chemical in the hands of a noob

if you were making your own hydro food, you would be using chemicals like these, nitrates are not supplied directly as nitric acid

monopotassium phosphate (60g), 3 types of nitrate (magnesium 16g, potassium 162g and calcium 179g), 4 types of sulphate (magnesium aka epsom 76g, copper 0.04g, zinc 0.2g and manganese 0.43g), boric acid 0.4g, sodium molybdate 0.05g and iron DTPA 3g. The ~480g of chemicals equate to 1 litre of flores A+B, the calcium nitrate, potassium nitrate and iron DTPA go in bottle A and the rest go in bottle B.

peace :)

thanks a lot very informative. my buddy has a garden store and a customer asked about it and he wanted me to look it up. yeah seems pretty dangerous for sure. i guess if the customer really wants it he could get it off ebay.
