Corn needs food?

My corn is looking good!
Well, except for no tassels yet...
And they look a little yellow.
Speaking of which, I have some of my own yellow that I could apply.l, it's quite aged and I could dilute it.
I also have fresh chicken litter that needs someplace to go
Harder to dilute that, but I could just toss it in a bucket and literally water it down.
I have some nice chicken curated compost and some rabbit litter as well.
I'm not sure if they will pack enough punch to kerp this corn healthy.

Opinions desired!

I’m curious why you planted it so densely? This is not a critique, just curiousity.

Well, I had good luck last year sort of emulating Hopi practice.
No mounds, but multiple kernels in one deep hole.
Last year the soil was fresh, and over the winter it had detritus composting on top.
I think I'm gonna diluted  the aged urine  and use that.

Yes, corn is a type of grass and a heavy feeder of nitrogen especially. They should be fertilized before they tassel though, not after.

I've tried to grow corn with little space in between like that as well and never had any luck because it didn't get fertilized. You may want to try shaking the stalks after they've tasseled to try to get the males on top to fertilize the rest of the plant.

Good luck. I hope it works better for you than it did for me. We now space them a foot apart and no longer have that issue.

For me, developing seed that I want to plant next year has always been more important than maximizing my edible yield right now. Because of that, If the way you have them growing is how you want to keep growing them, I wouldn't fertilize. If your plan is to spread them out in the future or to provide nitrogen every year, or if making sure you get a harvest to put by for the winter is most important, then I would.

But this answer is from a theoretical framework. I'm still trying to figure out how I want to space my own corn.

Good points!
I'm an urban grower, so small and intense is how I'm gonna roll most of the time.
I cannot foresee a situation where I cannot afford pee, so I don't mind relying on it.
That being said, I do have access to a very large yard where I could land race a strain that thrives with less care.
