You also have to watch ground temperature as germination time can add significantly to what you are having issues with.. as an example I planted a bicolor 78 day F1 3rd week of May here in Michigan and it took nearly 2 weeks to germinate and get out of the ground... by contrast i drilled Iochief with the planter 1st week of May behind the shop and it was up, out of the ground in a matter of 4 days... My bi-color is just now maturing (been tassled for about 2 1/2 weeks, silked 2 weeks... filling in now) and my Iochief is sprouting tassles.. Another week to week and a half or so and it should be full height (6 feet or so) and fully tassled and beginning to silk. I timed it so that the field corn around me would pollinate in between my sweet corn so I don't get cross contamination and end up eating starch... Remember when corn begins to form tassles down in the leaves it from that point on needs plenty of water as it begins to use a lot of nutrients and sugar from the stalk and ground to form ears.
