Do I need to cover the stem with soil up to the first leaves?

Do I need to get my plant in the soil up to the first two leaves? Is this important? In that case i’ll try to cut a bottle and fill it up to the first two leaves.

You should make sure to fill soil up in container but it don't need to be at the leaves.

Light spectrum and stress By switching between LED spectrum: Would the plants stress out ? The veg spectrum only was producing too much stretch due to lamp being not close, imo. So started using both spectrum and the light intensity is way higher now. Also they get some sun light due to tent position.

Any ideas why 2/4 have grown much taller and the other 2/4 are shorter and bushier?Does anybody know why 2/4 plants seem to be way taller than the other two? All four are meant to be the same strain, have all had the same conditions since day 1. Today i moved the taller plants to the left side of the tent and raised the shorter plants.
