Overwatering is the most common cause, but your soil currently looks pretty dry. How much have you been watering them? Waterings should be measured in ml at this point.

Moving from inside to outside has to be done gradually. Just a couple hours of morning sun and gradually increase it till the plant hardens up. I have had other plants do the same thing.

The peat moss was still wet just had humidity dome over em that’s really it, i had a great indoor grow but really want to try outside.

Think it’s just the picture and because in the shade, haven’t watered them at all because the peat moss pods were still damp.

Not necessary to water at all if using a humidity dome. Watering risks root problems as all a seedling has is a tap root that can’t get oxygen if the peat pots are constantly wet.

I would avoid using peat pots for growing cannabis. They retain water too well.

If the dome was on outside in the sunlight they probably cooked.

The way I am reading this @CheetoBean , is they were sprouted inside in jiffy pods under a light then transplanted into those fabric pots and put outside but not watered yet.
Is this what happened?

Actually i did leave them off last night but they are in full sun all day 10+ hours

But yes i did the jiffy pods under a light then transplanted them outdoors and they died within 2 days of being out there or dropping .

Any tips on outdoor grows? Running Durban poison from ilgm and white widow autos , buddy of mine has 6 in a green house outside as well for his first grow. Any tips would be appreciated, running fox farm frog soil too

I start my seedlings in either rock wool or root riot cubes. After there are roots I transfer them to solo cups.

To harden them off they go outside for a week in a location where the get morning sun and then dappled light for the rest of the day. I bring them in at night if it is going to be chilly. I have these carriers I picked up at a garage sale that each hold 6 solos so I can move them around easily.

After a week or two they go into their find big girl bags in the side yard that receives 6 hours of direct light. Not ideal but plants are out of sight behind a locked gate.

Best to you!

Thank you for that response, for some reason i thought they needed like direct full sun 8-10 hours a day, starting to learn outdoor grows are a lot harder to manage then indoor it seems lol.

Thank you @Spiney_norman i remember you helped me a bit with my first indoor grow i will watch this thanks again!

This is my third outdoor grow - trust me, it gets easier!

Here are my 12 for the summer grow.

Actually it is 13 since my daughter says she is going to grow one. I’ll probably bag the extra one up since my Devil’s Crack plant is a runt.
