I rotate crops, compost, the soil is very rich, and well drained. I have drip watering 20 minutes every other day in the early AM. My other crops include cucumbers, peppers, zucchini, eggplant, and tomatoes are plentiful.
Hardiness Zone: 9b

Give it more time. Sounds like it's plenty tall, but if you've had a long cold and / or wet growing season, it's just going to take it longer to "make" corn. My grandfather always said, "Honey, it takes whatever time it takes", and I think he was referring to Mother Nature who is whimsical to say the least.
Unless it's planted in "Blocks", it may not be getting pollinated enough. Long straight rows of corn never do as well as shorter rows that are in blocks like 12 corn stalks long and 12 corns stalks wide if that makes sense. In a large cornfield, it's always the "inside" rows that have the most corn on them.
Good Luck to you.

My corn is about 4' high and is tasseling, but no ears of corn. Any suggestions why not?
