I usually only pot up the once. Mine get plenty light so they aren't very lanky then or when I plant out. I do bury them deeper for added support at planting but only by a couple inches or so. I am going to have to pay closer attention at pull out time or just go ahead and start some seed just to run some experiments.

I wonder if the degree of "hardening" when a stem is buried has an effect on a node or stems ability to put out roots?
