the main seed head on my best sunflower has very small weak seeds, but the sides have lot better seeds in,
will they be a better prospect for next year?.

The side seeds will have opened at different times than the main head. So seeds genetics depend on what neighboring sunflowers were open . No telling which will be the best genetically but they are likely to be different.
