Stretching
The_green_roomstarted grow question 4y ago
Because my seedling stretched a little during her first few days of life, is it safe to bury a small amount of her stem in the substrate when I transplant in a week or two? I'm using coco and perlite 70/30. Actually writing this down made me realize it's probably a stupid idea 🤣

Hi there!
Yes you can absolutely do it and it is also advices to do so.
When you bury the weak and stretched stem under the soil, you Will get shorter but sturdier plant.
I would advice to bury right up until the cotyledons are only on the surface

Yes, u can do that. Maybe u can also create a "cage" until it grow stronger in case of more stretching.

How deep can I bury stalk during transplant?Hi! I'm going to up-size my seedling to a 1 gallon pot this week. How deep I safely bury the stalk? It's currently 7cm from soil to the cotyledons. Could I bury all the way to the cotyledons or is this too much stalk to put under ground? Thanks for your advice👍

He regado con 100ml la maceta de 1L para plantar,en unos 4 días volví a regar con aproximadamente 50ml, hoy he regado con un chorito,10ml
En la primera semana: ¿lo mejor es regar en dosis más pequeñas y más veces?
O dejar que se seque por completo?El sustrato es: humus/vermi/coco
