Must be nice! Looks like some should have some jam up hunts!

Damn what do you think affects sunflower head size the most?

Weed control or fertilizer timed right or something else ?

**Avery1213** · 07-17-2021, 07:31 PM

The top 4 things, in my opinion, that influence sunflower head size are:
1. Weed control
2. Spacing
3. Fertilizer
4. Moisture (too much or too little is no good)
These are in the order of importance I live by.

^top three point to fertilizer.

**2thDoc** · 07-20-2021, 06:40 AM

its late july
and HS does not EVER hide his face.

So, I'm guessing no one actually knows the opening day?

**Highstrung** · 07-20-2021, 07:02 AM

why would I ever?

I do cover it slightly during duck hunting

1. I did good with my preemergents and field prep. I have to work on my post emergent herbicide application process. My field styaed super clean until the plnts were 3 ft tall and then they came on. Not sure would I can do other than maybe a backpack sprayer? The weeds arent god awful tho.

2. What spacing do you use? I planted in 30" rows and used a 6 cell corn plate on one row and a 12 cell on the other. Its the same plates I used to palnt my corn, the seed was close to the same size so i went with it.

3. I fertilized the crap out of mine at planting. I could have broadcast nitrogen when the plants were still small but that would have been ALOT of fertilizer in a short time period.

4. Mine have received a lot of moisture......and that may be part of the issue.
