The point is you still have time to grow corn. May be even make a few ears. So replanting now will help to resolve problems with fertilizer and learn how much water is needed and when to irrigate. .... Then next year you will be better informed and know what you want to do. .... As far as water, I've been irrigating the garden almost every day since April. The top 2 -3 inches of soil moisture is critical.
In the past I planted a 3rd section of corn for harvest late September or early October. So I would be planting now. .... Regular corn needs 75 to 90 days from planting to harvest; sweet corn needs 55 to 65 days.
