Corn Pollination (Techniques & Failed Grow)

Lots going on here with the hydroponic corn grow. First, corn tassels were premature and didn’t provide full pollination when silks emerged. This often occurs when plants are stressed or other environmental issues. Second, to combat that, I did some research on how to save pollen and apply later. Fail. Third, I show how to cut silks to improve pollination by hand pollinating the corn. This would be very effective if pollen was used right away (according to the experts). Overall, this was a failure, but I’ve learned some things and I will give container corn another shot.

I am determined.
