He's only mistaken halfway. Soil above any node=stem rots. Soil below first node= stem grows roots.

good point, he was there when i was transplanting them and he was saying how not to put them up to the first leaves because it'd rott! It upsets me a tidbit since thats not the case as if I had buried the stems a bit more we wouldn't have to tie them, and i'd imagine, the plant'd be a bit stronger.

Nevermind ;-)

some pics @ 13 days :D

How much water should you give plants?

I know people that use a couple bottleed water capfuls every day, thats it.

When you start to veg a plant, how do you know how much water to use? Do you water it till water starts to leak out into the plate or what?

that should say a couple capfuls for seedlings

And you can add soil to those seedlings RIGHT up to the cotyledons. The stem below the first node is capable of growing roots if given soil to root into.

I do it almost every grow. I don't know if it's necessary or helpful, but I spray the stem with water, then 'tap' some rooting hormone onto it before burying. Can CAREFULLY transplant each individual plant deeper into it's own pot, too. Also...got a fan on them? It'll make the plant strengthen it's stem, to stand-up against the breeze.
Looks like this:

if anyones wondering its red hair!

A quick pic 14 days in. I think they are getting a bit toasty or they are still recovering from mild overwatering.

I am quite proud how strong they looking!
