  1. I knew i was on top something by adding dirt later on. I noticed roots and figured to cover them. I like to give recharge and an enzyme like sensizyme to help the beneficial bacteria

  2. I just had one break at the soil level and then I stuck the plant back in the soil and it survived. I planted three seedlings and this one is about to catch up at about 24”.

  3. I start my soil in a cone shape sort of like a funnel with the seedling at the bottom, add sifted worm castings when they have stretched about 2 1/2" to 3". Do not tamp just add spoonfuls of sifted castings as it settles. sifting allows air to the roots. Adding mychorrizal fungi while sifting the worm castings helps the roots efficiency a few weeks down the road leading to closer nodes and bushier canopy.

  4. Yeah, that's what I did a month before viewing this video, and it helps. And as is stated in the video, I left a space for the next few plants of approx. one and a half inch for backfilling. Two of three seedlings broke for a very slight draft in the room and a slight water spreay, the third one is growing quite nice.
    I had a spot in the garden with very good, live earth, worked over by my earthworms for years and I sieved somewhat from there for backfilling.
    As I do not want to work with artificial light, I do carry them outside into the sun every day since. They really like it. The reason is, if there is not sufficient light there they try to reach the light desperately before other plants get higher than themselves, at any risk.
