in the corn

so i have it on good authority that the farmer down the street is planting seed corn in his lower field this year. That means he doesn't harvest till october. Have any of you ever grown in a corn field?

no but i will tell u ive seen corn fields be harvested, or at least starting to be harvested in sept, so keep that in mind.

I herd of someone doing it, they were doing it in crop circles and they got busted... someone saw it from the sky..

corn turns brown/yellow late in the season, a green bush in there is going to be noticeable.

Corn is a good place to plant. Access to the farmer's fertilizer, proper drainage of the field, and sometimes even irrigation are some of the perks. Plant in between the rows and spread them out one every few rows. At harvest if you do not beat the combine out there you still have a chance to salvage something. Most combine systems for corn harvesting will just lay the plants down, and many will pop back up toward the sun the day after the farmer takes the corn. I have had this happen and it made the buds dirty but had very minimal losses. Around here alot of the fields get taken during dark hours since the days are so short by then and they will pretty much go around the clock with the combines til the harvest is finished, so there is at least a chance that you will get to them before they see them even if the combine beats you to it.

Corn that is grown for people comes down early

Corn that is feed for animals will come down towards the end of October

It's pretty common for farmers to use a wide range of herbicides on their row crops to help reduce weed competition thereby increasing overall crop yields. One popular herbicide, "Atrazine" has both a pre-emergent/post-emergent mode of action and can remain persistent in the soil for several months depending on the rate(s) applied and has seen widespread use by grain farmers for decades. Another method currently popular is "Roundup ready" corn. This is genetically engineered corn that is resistant to the active ingredient in Roundup herbicide (Glysophate). Farmers can apply this herbicide almost any time and anything that isn't in the field that has no resistance (your precious babies for example) is on its way to a early death. Rethink your grow area and stay out of corn fields.

thank you carl I don't want to injest any roundup, even though the Daliah lama told me that I would have total enlightenment on My deathbed LOL

so, ya know, you got that going for you.

The injestion of these herbicides through your plants would be the least of my concerns. It's the outright certain death death of the plants if they come into contact that would worry me. By the way, Roundup is an excellent herbicide that is not persistent in the soil profile. In fact, as soon as it makes contact with the soil it is rendered inert and is broken down rapidly by microbes. It can be used in a guerilla-grow to kill off unwanted vegetation just prior to transplanting, just don't make the mistake of applying it on top of your activity growing desireable plants. THEN you have a problem.....

Hey guys I'm doing something similar this summer. I'm trying to use a soil that has the most peat moss possible since I have easy access. Would peat moss + cow manure be enough? Perlite is expensive so is there anything else i could use for aeration?

never used it on weed but peagravel drains well

I want to say one thing here. I grow pot every year. I also grow 25 acres of corn every year on my farm. Heres the point. If I catch you planting in my corn your ass is mine and so are your plants. Planting along side corn is a no no. It stands out like a sore thumb come fall. So I get busted because some asshole planted in my field and it was spotted. Alot of farmers will put a world of hurt on you if they catch you. This is just another point of view from the person who's land your tresspassing on.

Don't do it. Very noticeable.

Public land is the best bet for convoluted legal reasons, regarding trespassing.

Ya, I would def have to say stay out of corn fields. Or any farmers field for that matter. as stated in this article herbicides,pesticides the wide range of fertilizers we use are among the least of your concerns. Its the farmer himself you should be most frightened of. piss on that other shit, its the farmer. I don't know of any farmer that would turn his head if he caught you. either a, you would be shot and buried b. turned over to law enforcement c, you would be beaten to a bloody mess and hauled off somewhere else and be left to die. by you planting in their fields you really are putting their lively hood at risk. they rely on them crops to feed their family and pay bills. bills that far exceed and sizeable bill that you will ever incurr throughout your entire life. them crops mean everything to them. grow somewhere else. there are so many spot to grow its just plain ignorance to plant in someone's crops. totally not worth it. besides they wont get shit for sun. if they did they would be so tall and scraggly. yield would be horse shit, probably even taste like shit, possibly make you sick and you would be fucking corn up hauling shit in and out of the field all the time. another point would be ariel spraying some do in late summer. that will take your shit right out, so there goes a bunch of wasted time and money and what happens if you're in the field when they start flying by to spray, you get hit with that shit and boy let me tell ya, you'll wish you were never born. personally i would love to see that on the news. "stoner and his pot sprayed to death". lol

all right Billy you convinced me I don't want anyone getting in trouble for anything that I have done

Hey no big deal. Just thought everyone should know the other side of the story. I also live across from the state game lands and there are plenty of locals who farm the states land.

My buddy tried to grow in a corn field and his plants got sucked up by a combine.
