Re-planting - bury up to coty's ok?

jus wondering - my seedlings stretched a bit during first week of life and when I re-pot I was considering burying them up to their coty's, or just below coty's to compensate for the stretching. Is this cool for the plants or not good?

you got it

Yes thats ok to do the part you bury will develope roots.

make sure that it's not too moist or you could have rot issues.

Thanks people. I has wondered about the possibility of rot.
Anyone else done this or have an opinion?

i do it too.

Any probs fdd?

nope. as it grows i even trim lower branches and bury that part also. i try not to do more than an inch or so at a time unless it is a fresh sprout. my seedlings often stretch several inches before leaves start to fully develop.

So, what's causing the stretch? High temps? incandescent light?

Light too far away in my case i think. Oh well, we live and learn...

Can high temps cause stretching BTW?

yep, sustained temps in excess of about 85F/30C can cause long internodals and stretchy, fluffy buds.

I keep the flowering & mother areas at about 24-26C (75-78F), the clones a little warmer at about 26.5-27C.

can anyone else help on the coty question?
