Either cold or they're not acclimated to the sun. Usually when moving plants from artificial light to sunlight, you want to harden them off. Put them in a spot that only receives a few hours of direct sun per day. Just like if you've been inside all winter and go outside and take your shirt off, you going to be a lobster.

Thats cold stress. Macsnax is right. My hardening procedure is to leave them out in the sun for 3 hours a day, for one week, and then bring them inside. After that one week you can leave them outside. That procedure dont really matter if its still too cold outside regardless of hardening off in my experience.

Put them back in the house bro, your too early. Are you in the US? I think most of the country is at its coldest right now.

If your dead set on leaving them out in the cold, you might want to cover them at night, or buy/build a hoophouse.

Older more mature plants can take the cold better than a younger plant in veg, probably why your flowering plants are holding up.

Yeah your going to need to build a structure with some sort of poles that your plants fit under. If the tarp is touching the plants every night you WILL end up mold issues..... I'm not going to lie to you, I've done this sort of stuff in the past and its a lot of work. And you WILL end up questioning why your doing it, and if it's worth it. I've told this to a few people..... If you've got the motivation then go for it.

I wasn't trying discourage you, I just wanted to let you know it's a lot of work. You have be there at specific times twice a day, that alone can become a burden.
