Alright, I've been collecting a bit of salts of late, and was going to get some potassium nitrate, but I've always steered clear because I don't want to attract attention to myself. Anyhow, I did order some calcium nitrate, and I was doing a bit of maths on which makes a "more available" salt. correct me if I'm wrong here.
Calcium nitrate has a molar mass of 161.1 has a molarity of 6093 um
Potassium nitrate has a molar mass of 101.1 and has a molarity of 9891 um
Dipotassium Phosphate also has a high molar mass of 174.2 which would create a molarity of 5740 um, much lower also.
Keeping molarity to a minimum is a good thing, correct? Thus, requiring less energy for moving ions from here to there. less "pulling" on one another.
For the most part I do a lot of orgainic and kelp during early development, but I do use salts to correct later during flowering, and I think calcium nitrate is the best candidate for fast correcting nitrogen deficiency, because it's almost always accompany by a calcium deficiency also, especially in early flower, and a good boost in "pure nitrate" during a critical stage of development.
