Either that, or start the seeds in a cup that's half full of soil. When the seedling stretches, and reaches the top of the cup, instead of transplanting...leave them in the cup and carefully bury them up to the cotlydons. (the first set of leaves) Leave room for future waterings, and keep a fan on 'em.

Using a stake makes the plant dependant on external support, and is a bitch to train them off of it. The problem get's compounded during pre-flower stretch and when buds fill out.

With the pix below, I started-out with a bit too much soil to start the seedling, but it shows the general concept.
