Another day, another mistake

[Stan's dad]

Well this is great!

I take my recently planted seedling out for a little sunshine and when I turn around for 5 mins the leaves have both collapsed!

I have a spare around I can germinate if this one is a lost cause however just in case I've put her in the shade and covered her with half a sprite bottle..

This is the 2nd time I've made this mistake!

What's the ole saying? " Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me " lol fml

Note* I had to prop her up a couple days after she sprouted due to her stretching :/

See how it goes.
Keep it indoors where it's sposed to be,
They can pick up all kinds of bugs outdoors.
Then yourll have another problem to sort out.

Keep it simple an don't mess around with em.

I'm offering advice from a vegetable seedling perspective ... but consider protecting the little darling with a hat made from thin paper or something else that creates super bright shade. It's hard for them to transition from gentle indoor lights to a radioactive ball of burning gasses as their light source

I have used any and all of the following to protect against sun scald:
Cheap white sheets or pillowcase to filter the light
Big hats made from unused newsprint (for bigger plants) - rolled it into a cone shaped hat and supported with an old upside down tomato cages
More recently ... I made a little "dome of safety" from aluminum window screening to keep the #*@$# squirrels and caterpillars from attacking my plants. It also cuts down on the light a smidge
Sandwich the baby plant between two bigger things so it gets little 1-3 hour shade breaks thruout the day

Hardening plants off to be ready for the full power of the sun is a gradual process. At least you didn't let slugs eat it
