Hi, I planted sweet corn seedlings a week ago. The tips of the leaves are turning brown. Not sure why. Seedlings are in full sun and have been watered every day.

Hi It always depends on your climate and how much water your giving them, remember they don't like too much water. if your leaves are squishy they're being watered too much. if they're dry there not getting enough water.

i had this problem and read it may be not enough nitrogen, so i used some nitrogen rich liquid fertilizer and the brown leaf ends are now gone.
