no! that's actually a very good idea...stretching is sometimes something you can avoid, but you can correct it by burying the stem up to about an inch below the first set of leaves. this makes the buried portion of the stem into a feeder root.
BobBong Reviewed by BobBong on . shrinking plants Is there anything wrong when I transplant to a larger pot if I cover up the stem a few inches? I musy have had the light to high when I first started, they stretched about 5 inches or so and I also must not have planted them deep enough as the bend when the fan is on, not all. If I put them in a bigger pot and bury some of the stem so that the first leaves are only an inch or 2 from he soil and not 5 inches....? Rating: 5
