If you really want to make some serious money, look into buying a bag of K-Mag (aka Sul-Po-Mag or langbeinite) aka 'soluble potash'
Runs about $19.00 for 50 lbs. (for a single bag) and you can do the rest of the calculations but you'd end up with thousands and thousands of gallons of a 'potassium supplement'

Pro-TeKt - 7.8 % silicon derived from potassium silicate
Rhino skin - 1% silicon derived from potassium silicate
Pro-Tekt - $15
Rhino-Skin - $35
I'm not sure if that's marketing linguistics or actual scientific description of "pure" and "not watered down". All I know is that the Barricade bottle / label / whatever used to state the percentage of potassium silicate, and it was quite a bit lower than 26.5%.
Maybe someone a bit more familiar with chemicals / molecular properties / etc. can confirm what state pure potassium silicate is in at room temperature. I'm leaning towards solid salt, but I'm not sure.
(Not "made of", or "is". I don't remember Barricade being sludgy, it was very fluid although less viscous than plain water.)"Barricade is made from potassium silicate (K2SiO2); this is the most horticulturally valued source of silicon. This material is very dense and appears like solubilized, liquid sand."
you are out to lunch dude. honestly every single product AN has is cheaper somewhere else, look at the insane amount of advertising dollars they spend. How do you think they pay for that.WTF? how is AN too expensive? it's called the inet w/ google... I got the same bottles of AN line of products that hydro stores sell for $40+ dollars for HALF.. and I've tested many other brands(not hating on ANY as I use a mixture of different branded products in MY lineup)... all got their pro's and con's...I've never had problems using any AN line product.. and WILL continue to do so. Don't buy it if you think its too expensive... I doubt a company that's supposably "based" on lies would still be around if there was BETTER cheaper shit out there.. no one would buy it.... Everyone's always gotta have something to Hate on and Bitch about.. I swear.. like someone put's a GUN to their head and say's BUY IT!
Can you pull up any references to the 100% thing besides use of somewhat vague marketing lingo? Here's some more straight from AN:

Didn't know Canna had a silica product.
Wanna keep going for 100% or will you agree based on suggested data so far that you could be wrong?
Silica is a resource that is found in abundance in the earths crust (the secondmost available resource if im not mistaken). As such, I think it is reasonably safe to assume that our beloved cannabis plant is accustomed to it and uses it during its life cycle.
