Too early for outside?

MumbaTuustarted grow question 2y ago

Not using growlights (and the weather has been cloudy). Is it too early to introduce her to the outside in cloudy weather and very, very mild wind? Photone app says ~2000-2500 ppfd. Anything else I can do to help her? Thanks

Your readings seems to be off or you do have more than enough light for your seedling. I wouldn't hurry to put her outside. It's too tiny, too delicate and it receives enough light for its age.

looks like it's gotten a bit too much light, yes... slowly introduce.. keep it in a more shaded area at first. watch resulting internode lengths as a guide. if it's tight and runty-looking, it's too much light.

Seedlings are probably best started in the shade. Helps protect not only from intense light but also offers a little cover in case of heavy rains that could flood a young seedling.
