They are stretching for light. Use a tooth pick or straw to support that stem and put more light on her!
Ok thank you it started this in the solo cup but roots were coming thru bottom so I transplanted them into that pot yesterday. Trying to get right amount of water down. Everything I've read says water till it comes out bottom with 20% run off but as soon as I start watering it come out the bottom then the top and middle are still dry so I'll water till the top is a little wet. Any tips on that?overwatering. big pot and little plant there, so it will take a few days to dry out. roots need air which they cant get if soil is always soaked. next time, start in smaller pot/cup, and move to larger containers so you can water properly

Root porn? OMG! Say it ain't so. I'll see y'all in a few hours...Its ok if roots reach the bottom, they need to establish themselves. Search "root porn" and you'll see what you can really do in a pot without harming anything. Good rule of thumb to water until runoff, but in your pot thats irrelevent because its so large. Just need to make sure the roots get water, so just water the middle of it for the next week or so
Yeah, let it dry out. Get yourself a soil moisture meter if need be. If the top inch of soil is dry you have no idea how moist the rest of the medium is. Either dig 2-3 inches+ deep along the side of the pot or get a meter.Ok thank you it started this in the solo cup but roots were coming thru bottom so I transplanted them into that pot yesterday.

In the language of my people of sunny so cal, SI. Learn the weight of the pot. When it needs water you'll know just by lifting.I learned by pointing the moisture probe 3/4 the way down the pot. If it read dry down there it was time to water.
The pot is almost “alarmingly” light and another day or less will wilt the plant.
And yes i have wilted a few waiting. They perked right up after watering anyway.
