Too early for outside?

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

Seeds in the wild grow from direct sun. Its best to expose it early on. do it in small increments and look up something called hardening off. This is what you want to be doing. Cloudy days are great for getting them used to the spectrum and wind. I direct plant my cannabis seeds outdoors and give them no special treatment in terms of shading them from the elements outdoors. its sink or swim for them. They almost all grow up just fine, there are some dude seeds every now and then. Eg i am planing out my outdoor grow this year and have about 7 plants out there. planted last week and the majority of them popped up already. Given its in a small pot the they can dry out faster once the roots are established, when its ready, transplant it, I like doing this on a day it may rain on or is overcast so it less stress for them. Good Luck!

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.
