When I up-pot, I always plant the rootball in the new medium both at about the same height unless I have a leggy seedling in which case I'll bury the stem a bit since cannabis, like tomatoes, can grow new roots along its stem.
However, I was watching the latest episode of "Growing Belushi" and his new greenhouse was getting planted with clones and the professional growers insisted that the plants be planted with the rootball a couple of finger widths proud.
I know they do that in the nursery industry to keep newly planted trees above really poor soils, but I've never heard of that for our plants so I thought I'd ask the forum to see if anyone knows why this would be recommended.
The only thing I could think of was they were going to come by later and put a 2" mulch layer down and didn't want to bury the rootball. But, since you can bury the stem, it didn't make any sense to me.
Anyone have any thoughts as to why?
