If someone was to start a clone in rockwool & then transplant into soil, how deep would they want to put the rockwool cube into the soil?

about 1/2 - 3/4 of the rockwool under soil. Burying too deep will limit rooting depth in pot. Ive always seen the cube partially above soil in rockwool to soil transplants.

ahhh see very different views. as everyone i know burries to first node as the root depth is only going to be affected less than 1/2 inch.

Actually either way works....but I would rather have the room for roots. 1/2" may be an extra gram or two in finished product.

so if someone burried the entire cube would it adversly affect the growth? would it cause the roots/base of the plant to be too moist as the rockwool seems to hold water longer then the soil?
