Planting Details
- Depth: Plant seeds about 1-2 inches deep into prepared soil.
- Spacing: Space seeds 8-12 inches apart within rows that are 30-36 inches apart to allow adequate room for growth.
- Light: True Gold Corn needs full sunlight, ideally 6-8 hours per day.
- Soil: Corn thrives in well-draining, fertile soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH (ideally between 6.0-7.0).
Watering and Care

- Fertilizing: Apply a balanced fertilizer to promote healthy growth, and use a high-nitrogen fertilizer during the early stages of growth.

Harvesting
- When to Harvest: True Gold Corn is ready to harvest in about 80-90 days after planting, once the kernels are firm, plump, and have turned a golden yellow.
- How to Harvest: Twist or pull the ears from the stalk once they are mature. The husks should be dry and the kernels should feel firm when squeezed.
