Cut the decaying branches off and try to keep the area as dry as possible until it heals.

Any stem deprived of light and remains moist will differentiate into roots. Superficial roots are often caused by poor watering habits. Roots physically turn toward greater moisture in a mechanical way -- baked into how they grow. So, partial or superficial watering will cause roots to grow upward instead of downward. 1) fully saturate (+10% runoff, if soilless) 2) wait for healthy dryback and repeat. if deviating, likely part of the problem. i'd also prune off that lower growth resting on the medium. It wouldn't produce buds worthwhile anyway, so no loss. could top off the medium a bit more, but if you watering practices are garbage, the roots won't drive downward as much as they should. Burying 'some' stem is fine.. .but if oyu bury too much or do it too often, eventually you may cause some rot in your stem in the time it takes to fully differentiate into 'root' due to its new context (dark+moist)... To test what i mean, you could feasibly wrap any portion of stem with something that will remain moist or cna be re-moistened whiel also keep that stretch of stem dark, and within 1-2 weeks you'll have roots above ground. The plant has no CNS. It simply reacts in a local way to the environment. Bend a branch down and bury a portion -- the portion buried will eventually sprout roots.

Hey Aleks555! Dealing with a stretched stem is a common hurdle, and burying it during transplanting is actually a clever way to provide extra support and encourage more root growth along that buried section. However, based on the image, you need to be careful that the soil isn't too packed or too wet around that buried stem, as it can sometimes lead to stem rot if there's no airflow. To help your girl stabilize, make sure your light is close enough now so she doesn't keep stretching, and maybe point a very gentle fan nearby to help strengthen the main stalk through "wind" resistance. Happy Growing Growmie🌱

The roots on the top are rotten, you must know this by disturbing them to inspect

I'm not sure what the issue is? Exposed roots? Your pot isn't completely full either way, so just put some more soil over it to cover them, it's no big deal.

Hello. Cannabis is similar to tomato plants, in that you can bury the stem, and the plant will grow roots out of the dirt covered stock. It's a common practice to do that. To lower the plant as low as you can in the big pot with the bottom branches near the top of the soil. It will take a few days for the plant to get over the shock but then it will take off with growth, with the new root space.
