Be careful with that. Even with sunshine coming through a window and additional light coming from your grow lights cannot compare to what the sun makes. Sometimes it's best to put them in dappled sunlight rather than full sunlight for a few days before exposing them to full sun. This process is known as 'hardening off' the seedlings. A huge increase of light can cook the little guys. And any seedling going from any indoor situation to outdoors is going to experience exactly that.

I was thinking that the sun is still pretty low on the horizon even though the air temperature is warm today. But I did put them out on the sun. Of course later the sun did move off them but there was still hours of sun.

I hope they are all right. They look all right. I will be careful with them tomorrow. I do plan on taking them outside again tomorrow as it is supposed to be even warmer than it was today.
