The lankies need help again! I watered them with fertilizer the leaves shriveled up. I dont know if this is normal for sunflowers or not but it doesnt seem normal.

Maybe the fertiliser was too strong? Probably hold back on fertiliser until a little bigger

They fell over before the fertilizer. I added the fertilizer when planta told me to

Oh no! I guess the only other things I can think of are temperature and seed quality.

I ended up pulling them sadly. I bought new seeds and they seem like they are doing a lot better
