The main ingredient of miracle-gro

Edited

I have been rubbing miracle-gro on my micro penis for 3 years and it hasn't grown larger than my belly. Do you have any tips on growing a penis beyond my giant stomach?

I must consume! Get wider!

NH4NO3 is a white crystalline solid consisting of ions of ammonium and nitrate. It is highly soluble in water and hygroscopic as a solid, although it does not form hydrates. It is predominantly used in agriculture as a high-nitrogen fertilizer. It can also be mixed with other chemical compounds easily bought in markets but Ammonium nitrate you buy at say home depot is much weaker..
