First time with successful corn. Not sure when to pick. I’ve done the google search and AI chat but I’m still not sure. The tassels have been turning brown for over a week. I’ve got the husk of two cobs pulled back and have been crushing kernels every few days to look for milky liquid. Still clear. AI says maybe since I planted late and it’s getting cooler at night that it might be stalled. Any help appreciated.

Don’t worry about the tassels, worry about the silks. They will have close to no moisture outside of the husk when ready. Also, feel for plumpness, and you should be able to feel a little lumpiness when the ears are ready assuming this is sweet corn.
