Is my light too close to my plant ?

[Big Green Thumb]

It is not really advised to bury mj stems just as it isnt many other species in a similar group type and cat, thats just simple horticulture any fool can google.

The fact that you can bury just about any stem from a plant and induce a root is what your seeing but its not something mj prefers and hence my statement that disagrees with that of mj seemingly loving its stem buried.

The fact you still get stretched spindly stems and have to keep pots lower in soil levels so you can bury them would suggest you need to listen to everyones advice on distance to light and how not to stretch everything rather than trolling your irrelevant stretched seedlings in our faces.

Was it your intention to come across like a newbie and fool? Sure doing a good job so far

How do you know what your imaginary plants prefer? I don't have to Google it, fool. I've done it. Does this plant look like it didn't "prefer" how it was grown? This plant was grown in that 16 oz cup, 12-12 from seed.

That's not soil it's coco coir and growing in it is entirely different than growing in soil.

Is it better ? Do I have to take care of it differently

"Better" is relative. Some people love growing in soil and some love soil-less medium like coco coir. I prefer coco, but you have to change your growing style with coco. Coco is has no nutritional value for the plant which means you must add nutrients to the water every time you feed your plants, similar to hydroponics. Plants in coco can grow much faster than in soil.

From what coco growers have said the plants will need more calmag, and watering methods are different from soil. @xtsho can give you more detailed/better info.

I prefer coco. You do have to do things differently. There is a ton of information on growing in coco available so I won't get into growing in it. Do a google search for "growing in coco coir". You'll find enough information to keep you reading for days.

You should probably stick with soil for now since this is your first grow. I wouldn't replant what you have growing now into coco. Just use a decent potting soil and get a few under your belt before jumping to other methods.
