How to Grow and Care for Cauliflower Absolute Seeds

- Soil: Plant in fertile, well-drained soil with a pH level between 6.0 and 7.5. Incorporate compost or organic material to enhance soil fertility.
- Sunlight: Full sun is essential for the best growth, ideally 6-8 hours per day.
Growth Conditions:
- Watering: Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Water deeply at the base of the plants to promote strong root development.
- Temperature: Ideal temperatures range from 55°F to 75°F (13°C to 24°C). Avoid high heat as it can cause the plant to bolt.

Care:
- Fertilizing: Apply balanced fertilizer at planting and during the growing season to support healthy growth and head formation.

- Pests and Diseases: While it has some disease resistance, monitor for pests such as aphids and cabbage worms. Organic pest control methods like neem oil can be used when necessary.
Harvesting:
- When to Harvest: Cauliflower heads should be harvested when they are firm and white, around 80-100 days after transplanting.
- Harvesting Technique: Cut the heads with a sharp knife, leaving the outer leaves around the head for protection.
