Has any one done corn any photos and any thing I need to no ???

Grows fine in growbeds. Plant as a block if possible to assist pollination.
I have gown it to assist in shading plants over summer.
may need staking as the hydroton does not give much support (in my experience)

Yeah thought I may need stakes in cheers bud

Grows easily.


Some tips that works for me

- i stagger my corn by planting four seeds a week during summer.
- plant in a rock/heavy medium. They fall over in hydroton
- root growth is rampant - so beware as they can block syphons
- try to keep out of strong wind

+1 about the root growth.
I had corn in a dirt garden in some styro boxes. Had a few concerns that it would topple over but it stayed up in a storm.
Discovered the reason after harvest when I found the taproots had punched through the box deep into the soil. Struggled to uproot the box, pretty sure I had to empty it to get it up.
So, although I haven't experienced it, I thought I'd point out that they might penetrate the layers in a wicking bed or any grow bed using membranes.

I tried corn a couple of years ago but found it grows better in the garden so Ive never bothered again. I should give it another go.

Thanks guys planted 6 just to see how they go cheers
