Trying to grow a sunflower. The seed has yet to sprout a week later. Might be a dud.

Yesterday I cut the tape and today the seedlings shot up.

They growing so fast, I've gifted one to a friend, but the rest will outgrow their pots in the next two weeks, what's the max sized pots you guys are using? I may just end up using white paint buckets from builders and make drainage holes for the water.

My larger plastic pots are probably 35-40cm diameter. A bag of freedom farm soil per two pots iirc.

Where does one get hold of exotic plants to plant, like woolly morning glories and syrian rue?

Looks like my babies are starting to flower, no idea if its the weather we've been having or if there is some autoflowering DNA pushing through, I found one female that hermied, I may end up removing it I haven't decided yet but I've moved it to the other side of the house and removed the pollen sacs that were forming I don't want it messing with my females.

I started early September last year and imo it was too early, one of mine flowered early, then stayed like that for months. It didn't have anything to rosin press vs the others that flowered in feb-ish.
