Growing Corn Indoors?

**Toolage 87** · 07-12-2012, 05:40 PM

For the past 2 months I've been wondering more and more if it is possible to grow corn indoors that you can eat?

I'm sure you can grow anything indoors as long as you have room, light, nutes, air circulation, soil or hydro.

You can grow it, but I really doubt that it would be edible.

Well that's why I am serious. I would wanna do it in hydro not soil

yes you can. I'm starting it soon indoors. Get a dwarf strain of corn to make life easier like golden midget for example. it grow to 3 feet I believe and yes it's edible

i doubt it will be very tasty pumped full of hydro nutes.... but im sure they will get big

It seems to me that you will produce some very expensive corn. I hope you plan to use co2.

why wouldnt it be tasty?? if you use the right nutes for it yes it will grow well and taste great.

It should be edible, and delicious, but frightfully expensive. Just think of the lighting cost for sixteen plants shoehorned under a 1000. cn

What exactly are the right nutes? Corn is a C4 plant and will grow much faster and will have much greater need of nutrients than cannabis. Head height is another concern, the tassels will stretch and become a hindrance during the crucial phase of pollination. Maybe you can remove the tassels from your growroom corn and hand pollinate with some outdoor corn. An interesting proposition you are planning.
