Hey, havent been here in a while. I posted a few years ago but took a break. Is FDD still around?
Okay so I was just curious as to everubody's methods/techniques for corn-field growing. I have a successful system which i will share with you, but just wondering if any of you have any suggestions, or anyone shares my '2 visit' techique.
So basically, I veg my plants for 2 months starting in april under 4 75w flouros. I work mainly on getting upper growth, and latering growth starting about a foot up.
I mix 25/25/50 perlite, vermiculite, and soil for my pots.
After 2 months of veg, I plant them in the cow-corn, once the corn is about knee high. the key part to my technique is the fact that i strip all the lower branches, and sink the plant over a good foot into the ground. This way the lower stalk grows roots, and I do not have to visit them until harvest. Even during dry spells they are sunk deep enough to get water.
Keep in mind I am in ontario so i dont know if this works for everyone. Any suggestions or similar growers?
