So bad news, I think I screwed my plants. They're seedlings yet. I put them out for some natural sun light today ‍♀, came home an one was completely white and drooped over, the other has white an brown spots. I also transplanted them in new soil, Mother Earth...
Good news is I have 2 new seeds I just germinated.

I end up having to drive my mom a, what was supposed to be a couple places. I asked my gf to bring them in for me around 2 or 3 in the afternoon. I'm not sure when she actually brought them in though. So you think it was the sun an not the soil??
I appreciate the info, I am really interested in learning how to grow.

The one that's still partially green was pretty green before. The one that's completely white, it had fell an I had to re plant it. They was in basic organic soil until yesterday when I bought the "Mother Earth" soil an transplanted them.
It was 80° F outside today...

The sun would have layed them down for the count. Soil is TOO hot for starters. Tip burn and lock out. Try starting in an inert plug or coco mix starter.

The first one is done the second one can survive. Keep it in moderate light for awhile and don't water it until it dries out some. That soil looks soaking wet. Think damp and water it with a spray bottle until it gets bigger so you don't soak the soil and keep it saturated with water. Don't move it from the soil it's already in. The soil might be hot but mucking with it now would be worse.

Good luck.

Any type of seedling needs to be "hardened off" when being transitioned from indoors to outdoors. Start with an hour or two out of direct sunlight; either in the shade or on a cloudy day. Every day, you can gradually increase the amount of time and light they receive until they're outside for the whole day. Lots of sun and heat is a big shock for such little plants.

Thanks Go Go Kid, you been a lot of help. I greatly appreciate it . I kept the second one, its still standing so I'll see how long it lasts. I read a little more about soild an learned that I shouldn't have them in the soil I have until they get bigger, but like u said. I don't want to move it around or anything at all....Lucky I have a few extra seeds.

Thanks for the help, im learning a lot more as I go. I did do research before I started, but guess I didn't read up enough. So I read a lot an ask questions on here. Hope it isn't too much of a bother...

Thanks for the info, I am letting it dry out a bit. Trying to make sure I have circulation so it doesn't mold or rot...If anything, back to square one with a little more knowledge this time ;)

Any seedlings, whether cannabis or tomato, that were grown indoors need to be "hardened off" before placing them outside for long periods of time, or permanently. You do this by putting them outside for 20 or 30 min the first day, then a little longer the second, and so on, for at least a week maybe longer. It toughens them up and gets them used to UV light.
