    I never thought to submerge them all in water to get those pesky shells off. Watering underneath is also a tremendous insight.

      Just soak the sun shoots to help reduce the mold spores present on the seed hauls.

    My Sunflower roots are not sinking into and through the soil. They just lay on top of the soil and the plants slowly die...

    • @farmerkeith
      @farmerkeith  2 года назад

      More weight and get them on before the they pop. The other thing could be that you soil medium is drying out before the roots sink

      @@RayMak you can use the concrete 10x20 block or bags of sand that weight the same. I have never had too much weight, only over stacked flats and they tumble when pushing up. Let me know if if the problem persists and I can help you

      PGX is just a peat based mix used for propagation. Use what you have locally available. You might have to test some different types and then choose the best.

    H2O2 is not necessary, none of the professional farmers do that . ON THE GROW , nor DONNY GREENS nor Curtis Stone from the Urban farmer

    • @farmerkeith
      @farmerkeith  2 года назад +2

      Curtis Stone did use hydrogen peroxide on his sun shoots. That is where I learned it from. When you have a problematic batch of seed it is the only thing to limp it to production.
