OK, so I have 5 plants, all the same variety, started at the same time in the same starting mix, all the same size when I first transplanted them, all under the same light the same distance away, but 2 of them shot up to over 3" while the others are not nearly so tall, even though they have the same number of leaves - 3 sets of true leaves. I keep raising one end of the light to accomodate the taller plants, but they just simply have to be repotted and moved somewhere else under a different light so I can lower the light back down for the others. I'd like to bury them all the way to the bottom of the leaves, but the cotelydons are still bright green and about 1" below the leaves. At this stage, would it be safe to pinch them off, since there are so many leaves already formed?

Thanks,

Edie
