Hey guys, I have a job to design something to increase the chlorophyll inside of plants, not kill them, and fertilize them at the same time. Uh I can get them the fertilizer, but I need something to make them green, which I assumed increasing Chlorophyll levels in a plant would be the best way. Any ideas on how to do this?

Larger leaves.

Well the idea is actually for grass. To make it look green, to fertilize it, and most of all, not kill it.

Enrich your soil with N(Nitrogen) and M(Magnesium).

N and M are building blocks to make Chlorophyll. K(Potassium) helps transport Chlorophyll. But to much K inhibits Chlorophyll uptake so I would be careful when you add K. This is what a chlorophyll molecule looks like:

edit: When you add to much nitrogen, the grass might look burned and might die. This can also happen when you pee on the grass. Especially when you've eaten a lot proteins, your pee will contain a lot of nitrogen (ureum).

Brilliant.

Experiments will be conducted shortly and the chemical compound will hopefully be found. Now I can get magnesium, now where to get nitrogen.

As well as a few other minor things to help.

Nitrogen-rich fertilizer. But you want to inject it in the soil to prevent aforementioned damage. Ammonia is caustic.

I don't suppose there's any way to separate the nitrogen? I'm assuming not.
