I had the corn in a pot, still in the plastic in comes in from Bonnie Plants via Home Depot. It rooted in the pot which I deemed a nightmare, but we were moving a little slow on the raised garden (first time out of pots). I took the corn out last Sunday, seperated (tore) the roots and have replanted it. There is already some silk showing for form a corn cob (do not know the correct terminology), I hope it doesn't rot.

4 months too late to respond but your corn needed to be thined out badly to at least 10" apart. If that's a box it's in that too would make it hard to grow to maturity. Full sun (8 hours) and high nitrogen fert are it friends.
