By the season 1 finale, Walt chooses to use a different synthetic route based on the difficulty of acquiring enough pseudoephedrine to produce on the larger scale required.

In the junkyard, after his purchase of meth from Walter White and Jesse Pinkman, drug kingpin Tuco Salamanca viciously assaults his lieutenant, No-Doze, after he speaks to Walt in Tuco’s place.

Jesse gets almost everything Walt requested except methylamine, which is kept tightly controlled.

The methylamine was stolen from a warehouse in the episode "A No-Rough-Stuff-Type Deal."
