How To Grow 12 Ft Sunflowers In Pots

Tips, Tricks

1. my sunflower is just about 1 or 2 foot
2. ive been growing one indoors for about 2 months so far with a grow light and its growing like crazy already 7 feet tall and counting at the rate its growing its getting close to the ceiling i was wondering if its possible to get it to bloom earlier because its getting too tall
3. Hello, thank you for posting.  What an amazing sunflower you have there!  I am on my second sunflower package.  I did not have any luck with my first one, they all died about 3-4 inches tall, fell over and died.  My second batch I am having better luck.  I planned a little deeper and now they are about 12 inches tall but falling over due to height...again.  I have tied them to ticks to keep them up but they don't look good.  Am I doing something wrong?  Not planting deep enough?  Add more soil as they grow?  Repot?  Thank you !
4. That's what I'm growing! I've got 4 of them.
5. I love sunflowers they give a magestic feel to a garden I've only been able to grow one last year as the rest got eaten in my growing shed by mice and then something in my garden was eating them and my pumpkin shoots overnight, very fustrating, do you have any tips for me to avoid this, I live near fields and heavy waste land with massive hard shelled snails, slugs, mice, the odd rabbit although I have got it well sealed from rabbits 
6. Im a beginner vegetable flower grower, do you not need drainage holes to grow sunflowers?
7. When do you sow your seeds?
8. Well done Mossy I've done that myself over the last 3 years and it works well . But this year all my seeds failed I planted 4 but not one showed never mind ill try again next year . Think my biggest was just over 11 ft.
9. I'm going to try that. I bought a pack of mixed Sunflower seed and got great results planting the seedlings in the raised beds. Some of the stems are as thick as your wrist. I'll do a video and hope I'll eventually get it up. I'm still struggling here. Canon told me to download an editing prog to see if that will pick up the images from the card. This computer is breaking my heart. Best Wishes, Brendan.
