Hello everyone,
Thanks for all the replies!
@OldMedUser I put them out the 2nd week June, and for the first few days they were in the shadows of the big trees in the garden. I gradually moved them into the sun after that. And thanks for the advice about the rain washing nutes away. It's been raining quite frequently this past month. I'll definitely up their nutrient intake.
I should also note that I have 30 plants in total in my garden now. Yes, 30... and all female; I checked the preflowers! Let's hope they all make it to the end. I didn't think all the seeds I had would pop but they all did, and I have the space in the garden (I live in the boondocks), so I thought why not!
@im4satori thanks for the pH advice, I'll definitely look into getting a pH meter or something.
@OldMedUser I'm not disregarding your advice but I'm thinking if I'm going to be serious about growing, I better have (almost) everything covered!
@Johnei I would use a foliar spray but the last time I used a kelp product (on my other garden plants), the raccoons dug everything up! I had to resort to grinding black pepper over everyone to keep them at bay and so far, no more overturned pots.

@Bugeye yeah I was looking at a few photos of broadmite infestations online and thought that too. I know I'm not growing organically using AN but I'm a bit hesitant to use any synthetic insecticides on the plants themselves. I'll try to look up some natural products that might help.
