I have used both cotton plates and corn plates. Last year I used corn plates with a transmission setting of 20-27 and it came out to about 9# per acre. Be sure to count your seed per foot.

they make a seed disk for sunflowers. Otherwise use the smallest corn plate you have and LOW vacuum. I shoot for 23K seeds per acre.
Good Luck!
