Consider experimenting with the 3 sisters method, growing corn with nitrogen improving beans, they grow up the corn stalks, and squash at the same planting site.
I've grown corn here in Southern California. We have cutworms - a moth larvae - that will cut small corn shoots, beans and a list of other seedlings right down at the soil line. Maybe root around in the pots and see if you can find the little buggars. I pollinated my corn by shaking the stalks as the tassels on top start producing dry pollen - daily when the air is calm so the pollen will fall onto the silks. Then our big pest for the ears here is another moth larvae called corn ear worm. Nasty creatures. They'd destroy ears in no time. The adult moth lays its eggs on the silk, the eggs hatch and the larvae work their way down into the ears. Something called BT (Bacillus thuringiensis) is an organic control for moth and butterfly larvae. Then as the silk dries and the as the ears ripen, you should be able to feel the kernels through the husks. You can even peel back a bit of the husk to take a peek. But I'm betting you already know all of this. 🙂 Hope you're well, Paul. Enjoy the week! ~Ron
Thanks tiger... I know there's a battle that stuffs corn up here. I'll check around the soil before all the corn is stuffed. I might open up a cob and see if its filled with bottles as well , haha
Beautiful corn plants 💜💜😍😍

I’m aware of that method but wanted to grow them in pots with added nitrogen
It's a great method but I wanted to try growing in pots with extra Nitrogen this time.
Absolutely awesome!💝👍
Have a beautiful day friend!❤️☺️
Thanks tiger
Yes sounds good.. clear as 🐍👍🏽
Thanks Tiger!

All good bro. That’s a lot of face tats!

Never staked corn. Grow it every year not farm from you. Never grown that particular variety though. We prefer the edible types :)
This is my first time 🎉🎉🎉
Staked it just in case my pots tip over in a storm
We do get some nasty ones 😊
Ear of corn?
yuppers , lol
