I would be cool to do it with some kind of extra fine concrete instead of faking it, and using steel wires as rebar etc.

But we are dosing by mass(or weight) and not by the number of molecules.

Potassium nitrate is 13.9% N and calcium nitrate is 17.1% N, by mass. ie calcium nitrate contains 23% more N.

I didn't say entirely.:icon_smil

There is different types of uv-light. Blacklights give mainly UVA which is pretty harmless. UV-filters and sterilizers use UVB and UVC.
