Hey everyone! Hope you're doing well :)

I recently started growing 2 sunflowers at home and I noticed that their leaves 1. grow downward (they're not brittle or wilting - they're strong, but face down) and 2. the lower leaves start getting these spots and wilting. Please let me know if this is normal. Thank you!

Leaves pointing downwards like that might be a sign of overwatering; make sure to let the soil dry out before watering, as the root system is still small.
These spots on the leaves could be a few things, but to understand your case better, we need to know how you fertilize this plant.

It also looks a little yellow, might be the photo, might be lack of light or nitrogen.
