OK to add soil after flowering?

I switched over to 12/12 about a week ago. 2 of my 3 plants were female, 1 male so it was removed. While removing the male I noticed new root growth above the soil line. Upon further inspection I think the females might be doing the same. As you can see the soil level is well below the bag (should have started with more, and it compacted a bunch). Should I top it off with some more soil, or just let it ride? The plants look fine.

If you have any mykoz spread a thin layer out before adding more soil. You can even scar up the part of the trunk that’s getting buried & hit it with some clonex over the wounds to promote root growth. It may set you back a few days to heal, but I’m almost positive it’s worth it. Can’t go wrong with more roots.

Pop a new seed and slide it in that spot. Maybe 2. Why not?

IF I was REALLY motivated I'd move that small one off to the far right into place. However those two, her and the one top right, are hydro and I don't feel like messing with the hoses again until after harvest.

With 12 clones off these 4 plants, and a second 4x4 just setup for when they sprout roots, I'm more inclined to let them stretch out and just finish the grow in peace.
