Not Hardening Off?

I hope I wasn't too impatient by putting my plants in full sun too soon? Or is it something else? I'm seeing leaf discoloration and some curling. Noticed some curling on the new growth as well.

Strain is Freezeland. About 6 weeks old. Organic soil mix. They've been happy and healthy until I moved them outdoors on the deck. They do a look much better since I transplanted them into their final homes in the garden.

I haven't fed them anything. I think the soil mix met their early nutrient requirements..Did give molasses...

Soil Mix Is--
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]3 bales of Pro Mix = 12 cubic feet of soil
1/2 cup of blood meal, bone meal, kelp meal, crab meal per cubic foot of soil.
1 cup lime per cubic foot of soil.
1 8 quart bag of earthworm castings.
1 cubic foot of perlite

IF it was from the sun they d be bleached looks like burn from blood meal shits hot did you let the soil cook for mth or so before planting and when u mixed it up make sure there is no hot spot s from concentrate also get the scope out inspect for critters they should grow out of it if no bugs. Takes a while to adjust to full sun that's for sure.Mixing that much soil is good to use a cement mixer then you know its well mixed..Bud

If it was the blood meal, wouldn't the nute burn have shown much sooner? They had been in those pots for a few weeks before I noticed any burning.

It's been about a month since I mixed the soil and I transplanted on Sunday, so hopefully they will recover. I will check for pests tomorrow but I don't think that's the problem.

I feel like I did a pretty good job mixing the soil, but your right hot spots are always a possibility when doing it by hand. Thanks for the feedback.
