So I just moved my girl outside two days ago. She's a clone and has lived out most her life under an 8 bulb T5 in my closet. Right now it's probably 80-86 degrees in the sun. Not too bad imo. We have an exact 12 hour period with the light cycle right now as well. I've had her on a 12-12 cycle in my closet for the last week too. My closet stayed at a good 83 degrees. Every time I put her in direct sunlight over the last 2 days, she wilts within 10 minutes. I put her in the shade, she perks back up in 5 minutes. My question though. Is this just due to her transition from a T5 to the raw power of the sun? Will I eventually be able to put her in the sun without hurting her? And if so, will it just take some time of her being in part sun part shade to get used to it? I appreciate any help or constructive criticism. Thanks!

Keep it in the shade and out of the wind for a week.That black bucket will act as an oven and cook the roots and needs buried or wrapped with something to insulate from the sun.

um no... thats just from transition from indoor to outdoor, dont listen to whatever dude said above... u can always go outdoor straight to indoor but it takes time indoor to outdoor. indirect sunlight would be better.

What are you talking about he's saying he's moving from inside under t5's to outside. Are you drunk?

She will acclimate, if you can set the plant to where she gets morning sun and then afternoon shade it should only take a few days or so. True about the bucket @eddy600.

Sorry it's been a bit since I've checked back. I've been working on getting a new job a cultivation facility out here in and so far so good! Back to business though.

The transition has worked wonderfully. I left her in a partially sunny, partially shady spot under a palm tree in my yard. I made sure her top soil stayed wet and she is thriving out here now sitting in the sun almost all day. I appreciate the advice from all of you. I'll upload a picture here soon!
