You asked for highest NPK and most of the answers were about N.
16-16-16 or 13-13-13 are available in your feed store.
From spread to burn is just 1 to 2 days if it gets watered and if you use too much.
If you get it just right it will make your plants turn blue green.

I love the stuff.

I also use MG tomato food later in the season and some local organic stuff called Lady Bug.
The later is concentrated in a one gallon jug and smells like all get out.
A good source of potassium nitrate is good old stump remover.
The stuff that comes in the jug you use to rot stumps.

Grind up this stuff along with the right proportions of charcoal and sulfur and you get black powder.

Or you could use it to cure meat.
But I would get the food grade stuff myself.
