They’ve been inside under a grow light. It’s been in the 70’s so I put them outside. Now the leaves are turning white and seem to be withering some. I might have overwatered, but I water the roots, not the leaves….

    Thanks Cristina. I posted on another forum and got a similar answer… It makes sense with what happened… I have those indoors today, and the others have been out for a shorter time – to get adjusted as they all are getting so big that they need to be in the garden early next week!!

    Nice link, I was going to suggest slowly introducing them to the sun by keeping them in the shade for a few days and adding sun gradually.
