sorry if im just not interpreting right, but not really i shouldn't add soil, or just a small bit if i do? or not really you shouldn't have to lay off the nutes and its okay to add soil?

You can always add soil to the top, keep the roots from showing, and keeps air from getting down the side of container. Just keep up with your nutes like always.

I doubt a stem will push out new roots unless it is scored.

I always add soil after they pop and I see where the first set of leaves are going to be, it ends up giving the plant more strength to hold the buds up in my opinion. On the same note, planting them deeper would probably solve the whole problem but then you'd have to wait a week to see them pop thru the soil instead of 2 - 3 days.

I myself wait for them to out grow there current container, then transplant in a 3 gallon and like la9 I bury them up to there first set of real leaves.

the roots will go and use it they will simply have the roots grow into the top layer cuz more room = more roots, is it maybe only seedlings that work like that?
