Yellow Popcorn shoots are fun and easy to grow. They have a sweet corn flavour and are great in fresh salads, wraps, burgers etc.
They don’t require any light. They grow in the dark which inhibits photosynthesis. Thus, producing a vibrant yellow colour.
Difficulty level: Easy
Germination: 2-4 days
Total grow: 7-10 days
Sow weight: 200 grams per standard 52 x 27 x 3 cm grow tray
1. Soak Corn seeds in water overnight (12 hrs). Enough seeds to cover your growing surface. 180 – 200 grams for a standard 27x53x3cm tray
2. Lay a thin layer of coco peat and perlite mixture in a tray. Cover the surface area with seeds. Ad another tray (preferably without holes) on top of the seeds. Add some weight in the form of a small tile or stone. This helps to form strong roots and get rid of unwanted seed hulls. Keep in the dark. 3 to 4 days
3. Keep wet with a spray bottle until all seeds have germinated and start to lift the top tray. Remove top tray and flip over to place greens into blackout. This helps the stems to lengthen.
4. Do not move to light. After about 2 to 4 days in blackout, they should be ready to harvest.
