Specialty Gardening: Growing corn in Growpots, 1 by snorkelpop

Back to the Drawing Board. I don't know what happened. All the the corn was grown under identical conditions (fertilizer, watering, sunlight, size of pots-except for one, all harvested in same three day period). The pots were very close together, so the pollination should have been no problem. Nevertheless, something went wrong. The first two ears were what they should gave been. The ears were fully developed and of reasonable size. The third one was about the same, except that the kernels were much larger. The fourth one was smaller and not fully developed (not all kernels developed). The rest of the corn? See for yourself. A miserable failure. What could have caused this? Any ideas?
