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

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

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. :P
