^^ same here. The sun is WAY more powerful and intense in heat & light than the most powerful HPS or MH light humans can produce. Peace.

better to do some training before putting the plants to direct sunlight.

yeah thats light bleaching, but your plant should be fine. just let her go. trim the burnt leaves if they get dried out.

yes plants have hard times adjusting to light changes but them seem to adapt and thrive wherever once they have a chance to figure out their conditions.

if you start a seedling outside it will grow leaves that can handle the sun.. but you see what can happen if you move from indoors to outdoors with a plant that isn't hardened enough..

So instead of being 93 million miles 3 foot from the sun, your plants will be 93 million miles 6 feet from the sun.

hahhahaha thats funny, but i think he meant hardening off by training, put plants outside every day for an hour, then two hours, then etc. good laugh
