Hi,

I'm very new to growing plants from seeds and I've started with
growing red sunflowers from seeds. All was going well during the
first few weeks now I'm not very sure what to do as they've grown so
tall about 2 and a half feet.
The stem is also very thin still, not sure if thats how it should be.

Can someone please advise me if they are going to grow more tall and
when should I expect them to flower. Will the stem gain more body and
how often do I need to feed the plant food.

Any response is really appreciated and thanks in advance.

Sounds like lack of light... etoliation. Where are they growing? Are they
in full sun?

I'm a little bit concerned about the use of the words 'plant food'. I
wonder how much the OP has been feeding and how often.
