why has this happened ?

hey guys , i was just wondering why this has happened.
i germinated a seed and had a small plant and kept it indoors for 5 days and when it got its first leafs i thought it was time to put it outside which i done yesterday. I have just gone back in to my garden and it has collapsed and died. why do you think it has done this ?

It probably wasn't ready to be outside yet.

she was young and tender and needed to be inside in a warm humid area

yeah dude-- as the others already stated.... it wasn't quite ready to be outside... better luck next time tho

ok thanks a lot guys bear that in mind next time .. how long would you say to stay inside... im a first timer you see

I'd say start your seedlings in a plastic, cheap cup-planter (they're not too large, but large enough for the root system to dev. nicely) wait a few weeks (or unitl the roots begin to peak out the holes in the bottom) and what I do is b/cuz its just a cheap plastic starter-planter type thing, I cut it away gently after slightly watering the soil (helps it bind together nicely) then transplant it where-ever. When I did this, it was great I didn't break a single root-- no shock at all for my plant -- just be careful and go slowly.

Your plant should be, id say around 5-6 inches or so-- I mean use your discretion, if you feel the plant has a good amount of leaves and seems strong -- prob ready.

This is just my experience, I feel it works well for myself, so hopefully it helps ya out.

Good luck


As an example---

I attchted a photo of how large my plant was when i transplanted.l I thought it was just the right size-- for me anyways lol....

lol I'm in Ontario-- believe me, this summer ha been horrible weather as well.... I can count the amount of sunny weekend on one hand ... the weather is like 17 degrees... if that! totally sucks...we were robbed of our summer only to endure another long, brutal winter... F*ck I hate the weather... lol

the sun is strong, you need to gradually expose it to full sun, keeping it in the shade for a couple of days then put it in full sun.

haha if i put it in full sun where i live it will be like keeping it in the shade .. im moving lol

hahaha if you move to Canada or the US -- chicks will go ape shit for your english accent... (its hot)

anyways good luck with your grow

ps. I stated the thing about the accent, cuz I'm a chick who knows--- not some creepy dude making a pass at you.. hahaha
