burying the stem???

[reefacheefa]

somebody jus told me in my random ?? thread tat you can bury the stem as deep as you want n it wont die, but itll grow roots as far up as its buried... any truth to tis??

I am not allowed to speak on that...cause of a lack in knowledge.
I will say that I have had a seedling die , cause the tap root was not pushed down enough....it got really tall & what should have been roots was exposed...it dried up & fell the fuck over.

That is correct. I always bury my plants up to the first node, snipping off the leaves there. They will grow roots at that node and all down the stem. It works.

Yeah, it's true! Often a seedling will get "stretched" before the grower gets some "decent" lights, or for whatever reason. Simply adding more soil or replanting the seedling deeper will make the seedling more "squat" (shorter and less prone to fall over). Plus, the part of the stem that gets buried will sprout new roots! I've never gone higher than "just passed the first node", "with the leaves sticking out", but it worked for me!
