planting - germination growing putting out buds flowering second flowering picking seeds

explanation
It takes a week from planting to germination, and two months from germination to bloom on the average.
It needs two weeks from bud to flower, but it happens big difference about flowering time between only one head sunflower and multiple head sunflower.
The appropriate time to pick seeds is after a month since the sunflower withered.

Look the flow of cultivation with the picture

stage1 sowing

Watering everyday for this term.

stage2 sprout
The seed comes up with the shell from the soil.
The suitable temperature is 20-25БО.
