Organic Sunflower – Growing Instructions
- Optional – Soak the seed for 3-8 hours in cold water, before rinsing and draining the seed.
- Repeat this every 8-12 hours until the seeds start to germinate.
- After this, sow the seeds directly onto a moistened growing medium or growing mat and cover the seeds and lightly mist with water.
- Place the seeded tray into a second tray without drainage holes. This will allow you to bottom water the tray.
- Cover with another tray on top to stop light getting in. If the soil is dry, then water from the bottom or mist.
- Keep the tray in the blackout period until day 4 or when the seedlings are pushing against the tray above.
- When watering the seedlings, using the bottom tray.
- Harvest when the seedlings are 6-12cm. Cut the stems above the soil line with a knife or scissors.
