I had three gorgeous titans growing this summer until a couple days ago when my prize 13.5' one was blown over and killed (stalk broke at the base) by the wind. I had a metal & fiberglass stake it was secured to (same one your boy is carrying at 2:36 actually), but apparently not secured enough, as the tie I was using broke.

Thinking next year I'll use soft ties and put one on every 1.5-2' up the stalk along with supporting the stake with another one set into the ground at an angle that the wind will push the weight against when it blows (then with my luck involving wind, Spokane will probably get its first tornado).

I am growing sunflowers for the first time this year and I cannot wait to see just how big they get! I started them in the ground very early, so their peak size is very intriguing to me 👊🏻🌻👊🏻

Oscar Wilde, the most famous sun flower lover) would have enjoyed your video.

Awesome Video you have mate and God Bless your wonderful day!!!

This is my 4th year planting sunflowers since I live in Fayetteville, NC and we get pretty Hot/Humid summers.

Although when I first planted Russian Mammoth sunflowers in 2020, the results were surprising which I Thank God for it. It grew up to 6ft tall exact same size small head what you showed in a video.

However I had a lack of experience and did not use fertilizer for the first time and planted them in the ground.

Cut the heads way too early and the seeds got moldy. In 2021 and 2022 seasons I had several attempts planting sunflowers however those 2 summers were ridiculously hot so the stalks instantly died. No matter if I used enough water.

Then when summer 2023 hit, the temperatures weren’t as hot as it was compared to 2022 but certain periods were hot which in return we had massive rainfalls and plenty of precipitation after humidity.

I used Cow Manure for Skyscraper Sunflower and the stalk in comparison to 2020 was thicker by 0.5 inches in circumference. I’ve waited longer for the seeds to be mature and for me personally sunflower season 2023 was the best one I’ve had and kept the skyscraper seeds for Sunflower season 2024 to plant them.

Although the skyscraper’s height was shorter than I am since I’m almost 6’3.

I’ve planted 6 sunflowers in front of the house, 6th sunflower is in between 2 air conditioners where there’s plenty of sunlight and 7 more in the backyard.

I probably used 5 skyscraper sunflowers from last year and planted them with cow manure which the brand is called Black Kow manure in the yellow bag.

It rained a lot and planted them on April 19th 2024 so God Permit the temperatures are going to be steady around 75-80 degrees Fahrenheit and no rain for next week.

I also bought Mammoth Grey Stripe which I couldn’t find them in the stores for 3 years and used them to plant with cow manure.

My question I have is this:

If I dig the ground 6-8 inches deep, filled in with cow manure, and planted the seed, will I get better results with massive stalks and larger heads?

Thanks for the knowledge
I grew a giant sunflower once in my life

[brofessormex]

We have no water. It's so dry. But this year we had two hurricanes feeding us tons of water. I planted cover crops that has helped the hard ground

[purplethumb]

Your mention of the Bible and Jesus got a sub!

[JM-ymmm]

It's actually "fasciation", not fascination but I do agree they're fascinating :D

[Thomasbloom]

I have started some sf seeds in little starter cells they popped up fast, How deep should I losen the soil? I'm digging a new bed. Thanks Was helpful vid.

[scottjones]

what do u use to keep critters from eating young leaves

[milomilo]

Can I grow these in a 7 gallon air-pot ?

[joemade]

Spray what for bugs mine always get its leaves and sunflower eaten?

[leo_Pop_]

What are your thoughts about Mammoth Grey Stripe Sunflowers?

[bruv]

Would look good in a large field. I see a new movie concept, 'Children of the Sunflower', those tiny hairs would cause some grief

You can learn a lot more about God by visiting your local hospital where he is apparently torturing children to death with cancer. Great tips on sunflowers though. Ty
