Default Re: artificial light/indoors growing Vs. nartural light/outdoor gronwing

Cindy,
I would leave the plants outside with no cover at all. The problem is that it can get well over 100+ in direct sunlight. I have had several plants (not cp's) that have easily been cooked. I am afraid that it is too intense for the plants, then again, i might be wrong. Could they possibly adapt to that sort of scenario? Most of them are relatively young plants still in the rossette stage. I have mature plants that grew well for me in the intense sun (couple of hours of direct sunlight a day), but they showed a lot of sunburn, even on newer growth. It looked kinda unsightly, but they grew well and pitchered. I will try to find lower grade shade cloth in a while... Expose them more and more each time..... Sounds like a good thing to do. Any opinions on this? Thanks, later...
