Hi Guys, Can anyone tell me what is wrong with my corn sprout-lings? I am sprouting them in a separate container but one of them seems to be drying out. Should i transfer them into my GB now or wait a bit more? (PS my system is still not cycled yet.) Regards

Ive never grown corn from seed sorry so Im not much help. It kind of looks like it may be too damp in the cup but Im not too sure. |

Looks like it might have rotted off, too wet perhaps? |

I worry about sowing corn direct in AP beds as its treated with fungicide normally. So I just buy seedlings |

usually 1/3 to 1/2 of a cob will get you another decent crop - 20-30 plants. Just dont forget to dry it before you try to remove the kernals.
