My crazy explosive ember

[kishke]

For some reason my explosive embers went nuts on side shoots from pretty early.
It's also growing pretty fast I think, Friday I watered it in the morning before I left for 3 days, when I came Monday it was all dried up, and had pretty long roots going out of the bottom on the glass it was in which weren't even there on Friday(I used 2 cups 1 in another). I watered it and it jumped back to perfect health, later that day I moved it to a bigger cup.

Is it ok it's growing this way?

Looks healthy to me.

Yup, looks nice and healthy to me too. That type of growth is normal for an Explosive Ember.... they are, well... explosive!

I asked it only because the parent plant, which died a horrible overwatering accident death looked different. At least there was one ripe pepper to take seeds from.
But it was probably because it was my first time growing and I used yellow light, 2 light bulbs one was 50W incandescent light bulb and one warm yellow fluorescent light bulb which probably caused it to get leggy.

Bummer.

You definitely seemed to have a learned a thing or two since then though! That is a nice little seedling.

Plant looks good but you should try and avoid using clear cups.

I know clear cups are bad outside because the dirt heats, I'm only using it on my desk with white fluorescent, when it goes out it gets a nice pot for itself.
With the clear cups I can tell what's the root status and if its time to move to a bigger container in case they cant find the holes at the bottom.
The over watering accident wasn't my fault!
