Few days after they got transplanted to solo pots. Theres still 2 together but I think they have plenty of room plus I ran out of pots haha. I buried them deep with leaves just above the soil. Lightened up on the watering. I’ve never started from seed so was only used to drowning stems in the outside beds. I have a bunch still in the start cells because I had so many germ in the paper towel I felt like a crime to toss them. I’ll end up choosing the best 2 maybe 3 total for myself and the rest I’m trying to give out to friends family (8 so far spoken for 🙌🏼) and anybody local that knows I’m growin.
Sorry if the music makes me seem like a pompous ass lol just a hillbilly who was told by the internet that his plants would like being complimented and hearing classical music 😅

Glad they’re doing well!
Your doing great. Sounds like you know what you’re doing.
With the exception of tomatoes to a degree I personally wouldn’t bury stems too deep to avoid stem rot.
The thinking being that if you do since the stems don’t benefit directly from being watered – that is, since it won’t grow roots except from the nodes or when you peel the outer layer of the stem close to the nodes, root are unlikely to form. You’re instead retaining moisture along the stem and in my experience – you cause it to soften up till it becomes mushy and rot.
This is just my thinking and experience, I could be wrong but thought I’d voice it out in case there is something to be learnt here.
Edit: Sorry OP just realized they were all tomatoes and this is a post from a tomatoes subreddit. You’re good. BOL on your grow ❤️
