Popcorn plants were growing real well, They look healthy and they have
started to grow their ears and have sprouted their “tassels” on top.
the ears appear to be about half size, they are long but only an inch
or so in diameter. Started noticing about a week ago that they that
they seem to have stalled.....I fertilized when they first started to
tassel which was about 3 weeks ago. Have 4 rows, about a dozen each
row and they get full sun. I have never grown corn before, so not
sure if this is a problem.

Depending on the cultivar they may be as big as they are going to get.
Start checking the cobs for ripeness.
