I have a few options I could do.
I only need about 3 liters of it.
My options are 1. UNS controsoil, 2. Tropica soil, 3. Netlea aquasoil, or wait until 2hr aquarists apt feast soil is out and get that.

Right now my aquarium has a mix of fluval stratum, gravel, and sand (I know that’s terrible, that’s why I want to replace it)
I’ll be soaking the new aquasoil in a bucket with filter media and a pump and doing something like a dark start with it.
 
I've been using Platinum, it's reasonably priced very user friendly.

In fact it releases so little ammonia into the water that I actually have to add ammonia when I do a dark start.

One caveat, be sure you buy Super Powder grain size, the other grain size are unpleasantly large and difficult to plant in.
