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

I'm not seeing a lot of damage on your plants, but they may not like that. Do it for lesser time and at earlier/later windows when the suns not as strong if you want to transition them to outdoor growing. If not they may loose a lot of older leaves and put on new ones that can take the suns intensity. Giving that your only growing using leds. They need to be very powerful to mimic the sun and most aren't. Putting a plant from a indoor tent to outside is a hard transition. Full sunlight on a hot summers day can burn them up. PPFD of the sun in high noon is aorund 1700-1800 with a full spectrum across the board. No idea what your LED's are pulling or if the efficiency/spectrum is high, but I doubt its in that range of 1700-1800. Be Careful & Good Luck!

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."
