## Description

Corn can be grown in hydroponics to yield 3 Corn and 1 Corn Seed when fully grown.  They must be replanted after being harvested, using either a Corn Seed or raw Corn.  Corn takes approximately twice as long as other non-perennial (ie. has to be replanted after harvest) food crops to grow, but has unusually low darkness-per-day requirements, and thus can have its growth accelerate somewhat by using [Grow Lights](/wiki/grow-light) to keep it illuminated a larger portion of the day.

## Notes

- Recommended to process 5 x Corn into [Corn Soup](/wiki/corn-soup) in a [Microwave](/wiki/microwave), as it is almost 3 times more hunger-efficient than raw corn and doesn't decay.
- Are the slowest growing non-perennial food crop, by approximately double.
