The bull shit about "Marphistes Gall disease" is bad enough but telling them
to pour extremely dangerous and corrosive hydrochloric (muriatic) acid on
the plants and then to ingest it is criminal. No wonder you don't have the
balls to use your real e-mail address, you evil troll.

Your seedlings have Marphistes Gall disease. It is caused by the
Marphistes mite. The female mite lays her eggs in the developing seeds
of the mother plant the previous summer. The eggs overwinter in the new
seeds and hatch in March and April of the following year. The
stretching is caused by the larvae being trapped within the stems of the
sumflowers and their wiggling as they try to escape.

Go to your nearest swimming pool supply store and ask for a quart of
muriatic acid. Pour it full strength on your seedlings. It will kill
the Marphistes larvae immediately. Any leftover muriatic acid makes a
great substitute for gin or vodka in mixed drinks such as gin and tonic
(muriatic acid and tonic) or vodka martini (muriatic martini). Don't
worry, muriatic acid is completely harmless, as it is used in swimming
pools with no known problems.

What causes "Leggy" seedlings?

I planted sunfolwer seeds in cell packs, and now they're tall with a
pair of
leaves, some with 2 pairs, but they're staarting to fall over! Too soon
to
plant outdoors... should I repot them and stake them now? They're only
2-3"
tall and can't stand on their own?! Is this normal?
Thanks!
