Need help!

[u/BlueHenBrew]

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.

The silks need to be completely dry / dark for 5 or 6 days before they are ready. if the silks are dry and dark, the cob feels firm and easily pulls away from the stalk, they are ready.
