You can see their not stretched and are gonna have some nice tight node spacing

Thanks much appreciated. im defs going to have to replant or transplant and bury some stem. I like the razorblade idea to induce roots aswell.

new here not to growing...why dig them up cause undo shock...just pile up around stem..why dig...just my opinon
Maybe you should re read the original post my man ,

First you cant pile up more dirt , where is it gonna go , just spill over out your cup or pot :wall:

And their is no shock , but you have have to take it out in order to bury it more ,

Take it out , position it in center , then re bury covering all that had stretch ,

Do it when soil is dry , the soil will easily break lose from the roots , then re bury , No Shock

couldnt you just add extra soil when you transplant to a bigger pot?
This thread is not about transplanting , its only about burring stretchy seedlings ,

Transplanting is a different topic .

If you wait to when you transplant into a bigger pot , your gonna be transplanting a long stretchy thin ass weak looking plant

Greetings from the U.K. I usualy just wrap a bit of clear plastic (acetate?) around the pot to take the edge up to level of soil you need until you transplant.dunno if that's any help. Where's the smileys.

With tomatoes I just plant the stems with a strong leaf 4 inches above soil level plant the rest. I know your talking pot BUT if it did not root it would not clone. So plant it roots support the rest of the plant. Pulling my spent toms Surprized at how little roots my store bought tom plant had! Do not think okra has that problem but it will be after frost let you know about roots,

I have a plant that is about a foot tall. Only the top 3-4 inches have leaves and very few. I was wondering can i cut 6 inches off and bury it and let new roots grow, kind of like cloning?

Maybe a dumb question but i dont like this bean stalk he is taller than all the others and getting burnt from the light while i cannot raise the light higher due to the other guys being smaller lol
