Put all my ladies outside today...maybe that was my first mistake lol Wedding Cake auto from ilgm...her leaves did some weird things. They all got fed while out there. Hoping my desire to keep my light bill down didn't do too much damage. She is 4 weeks, almost 6 wks old

Plant need to be acclimated to oudoor light intensity: start with 3 hour of direct sun light then add 1 hour per day so you should leaves them fully outside within 2 weeks "First, you should know that the plant will take some time to accommodate to the new environment, particularly because of light change and environmental conditions. This loss of vigor in the plant can sometimes reduce or even eliminate the benefits of starting the plant indoors. The strong sunlight, much richer in UV rays than indoor marijuana growing lamps, can be too aggressive for plants that were first grown under artificial lights. Therefore, it is not advisable to expose them directly to the sun, for they should progressively adjust to the sun; then, we should first place the plant in a shady area, and then give it more sunlight day by day."
