Growing giant corn 1 of 2

You could have started them indoors

This variety, as you can read at 0:05, is called Jala. It's from Jala Valley, it's ancient.

As you can see the weeds on the ground at the begining is oxalis, this indicate a severe washing-up of nutrient in the soil, it can lead to the destructuration of clay. When clay liberate its Al+++ and Fe+++, it intoxicate the soil and then go into the plant, the grain. Food, grain, cattle meat fill with Al+++, so it give neuro-degeneratives issues.

Use 1 ft. of ramial chipped wood to restore the soil.

This corn variety Isn't modified, it is an ancient variety from central America that naturally grows to 15-25 feet tall. Today's corn has been modified to be short, and produce smaller more plentiful kernels.

[DancingHorses26]

Wow, that looks like it would be a lot of fun to grow. Not to mention walk through.

[teankum96762]

holy shit! an alien variety!

[daw162]

Why would anyone want corn that large? It would lay over and it's using all of its energy to grow stalk and not ears.

[aityadeen123]

is this a genetically modified variety?

[MisterNickOtine]

@aityadeen123 nope.

[joemartin1957]

turn off the music and explain a little more about whats going on. Your the expert and we re begginers.

[LaoSoftware]

@joemartin1957 : I always wanted to grow corn because I love eating them. But this guy has the music on. I can't hear anything he said. I wish he turn off the stupid music. Anyway, I think the giant corn is genetically modified. Natural corn don't get that tall. It's against nature. I wouldn't touch it if I were you.

[MisterNickOtine]

@LaoSoftware it is not GMO

[mackavally]

is that monsantos corn seed

[gyozza1]

some d-bag from monsanto will be bye to see you... he'll have a FAT check for you fo r your seeds... you MUST NOT SELL... dna test your corn seed first... and then that will protect you from infringement that they will most likely try to do.

you are welcome to charger them after that something in the ballpark of like a million bucks per seed

[Erika445566]

When corn stalks hits 20 feet or higher it makes it much harder to produce full healthy ears of corn.

[TheSupremephenom]

how in the world did your corn get to that size (in weeks)? in one week for example my corn was like 8 inches tall and not vigorous.

[LaserDarkDX]

Looks like a cross between bamboo and corn.

[kevinmeehan71]

@LaserDarkDX its a tree hahah

[flibber123]

Oh my what big ears you have!

Yeah, I know, it's a corny joke.

[htkendall]

can you do that with weed?

[ElloitsCass]

did you use compost tea to make them grow that tall!!!! holy shit!!!!!!!

[virgoptrex]

holy shit........I though corn grew 6-8 feet max....... now even Giraffes may seem dwarf!

[TheHondaAbuser]

holy shit man! howd you get it to grow that big?

[RobertHHMaxwell]

can u do it with eny corn or is this like mutant corn from a lab

[ManTheBush]

Do you think this corn would do well in southern Ontario?

[donze52]

giant stocks make great blow guns, and pungy sticks. should get about $30 per stock. nice side income. thanks for your info and check out my stuff.

[harmageden]

Is the corn edible ?

[braindrain13]

Gotta get me some of them seeds! Gonna try to grow them down in the southwest!

[armystrong9997]

how many ears of corn per stalk?

[mrghastly]

@gvenema yeah i was wondering how big the pot grows there

[OverRule1]

holy shit

[teflondon91]

is this a GMO plant?

[Psycatalyst]

@teflondon91 No its not. It is a known line breed. People who do GMOs are not interested in making tall stalks. They are more interested in disease and pesticide resistance.

[TheCaptainLulz]

Ive got some cross polinated ancient corn seed but they only gave tiny cobs with like 10 kernels on them. Any idea what Im doing wrong that they dont get large cobbs?

[JAROSLAVAGINA]

@TheCaptainLulz  cross polinated is your problem.

[MrEmman12]

Im growing corn and its big but mine is from africa and it has kernels i will show you a video

[specfever]

What kind of corn did you plant? From what I understand, corn is 'short' today b/c it has been bred that way through crossbreeding. Farmers don't want/need tall corn. It blows over, as you've shown, and the plant puts more energy into vegetative vs. reproductive growth (the ear). Still, those are some awesome looking plants! If you've got no ears and it's tasseling? You won't get ears. The tassels (male flower) shed pollen (seed) to the tassels on the ears, thus fertilizing the flower.

[mrghastly]

@specfever exactly. my professor told me about this phenomenon. the seed is probably from a plant cultivated around the equator where there is an even 12 hours of light and 12 hours of dark. if you were to plant these seeds in the northern united states in the summer, where there could be 18 hours of light per day in the summer; the plant is photosynthesizing longer and therefore producing far more vegetative growth.

[TOXER555]

is this geneticly modified corn?

[yonashy]

its my grampas dream come true giant corn

[ww2footage]

wow it can be even used as wood fuel

[MrGabesutube]

[Gone2Huntin]

holy crap!!!! It looks like a dang bamboo forest!! The corn plants are FREAKING HUGE!!! I have no room 4 that! It's amazing you grew them right by your house!

[jesseeldrid]

seeds are on Ebay for 2010

[bilaczenko]

@jesseeldrid Very serious depletion of soil nutrients unless the stalks are shredded , composted and dug back in the ground.

[Bassaholic1993]

Is this classified as "Frankenfood" or is the soil just full of nitrogen? because these things seem to either be Genetically Modified or the soil is literally all Nitrogen.

This is amazing though! One ear off these could feed a starving family! haha

[wavepsychic]

I didn't know corn could get so big! You should make a corn field maze with it.

[SuperMommy227]

You could add more soil to the base of the plants as they get taller, at like week 2 with yours mound up a bunch of soil around the base and the support roots with take hold, then add more soil as they get taller... nice plants! gonna watch vid 2 now.

[KingToads]

What kind of corn is that?

[christopherm006]

that corn is sativa lol :)

[sludgedozer]

That is awesome dude. My grandpa grew corn in Nebraska. That corn was taller than your house. You are the man. This motivates me.

[solwskii]

Thanks for the video dude. I am bout' to grow me some corn for the first time . Now I have a guide line . very detailed video about corn . (from seed. one week two month ect. tear down)((Amazing)) Props for your crops . nice 25 ft corn That must be a New Record. Wow! -_-

[ljhoeniges]

[gardenmagik]

Seeing the corn messed up by the storms was almost sad- and im sure it took you a while to get all the corn braced with the rope... wow... im impressed. gong to watch part 2 now..

[shikakari]

Did you use the uncle Tony method to fertilize? Whatever it is it works great.
