I’ve been a little scared to transition my baby to the outside world… recently temp have been 93F+… I left her on the covered porch over night and much of the morning… something bit off a piece off her leaf brought her back in right away… should I leave her in or stop being a lil B****???

Nice seedlings look after them well and they will look after you!

Awww…protecting your little one…lol. sometimes you just gotta let them fend for themselves. Do you think it was a bug taking a piece off a leaf or a squirrel or something that’ll be able to munch the whole plant if it comes back?

I’m pretty sure it was a bug… one of those that look like a small leaf…

I would say leave it out. Maybe you could rig up some kind of shade cloth so it’s not completely exposed during the hottest and brightest part of the day. The faster it can take full sun, the faster it’ll be 8 feet tall.

I guess I will start my hardening off process over again
So I started noticing yellow beginning to form on the tips of my leaves 
… please let me know how worried I should be…
I have organic soil mixed with bone meal garden lime… leaves are starting to yellow
What and how can I start to top dress my soil with to fix the problem???
At the bottom or the top of the plant? Maybe more details can help the others to help you

Do you have a pic you can upload? I’d say something like blood meal for nitrogen but I think it could be different things depending on where on the plant the yellowing is.

On the new leaves that a starting to pop… and the set before
I have put no earthworm casting in the soil… I have a bag but have not used it yet
Looks good to me. Sometimes my young plants’ leaves will yellow just a little bit, but then it always stops happening as they get bigger.

I believe I have been a a success on my hardening off process… temps have been around 93-98F… I posted my plant by a Crêpe myrtle tree for some said during the day…
Anything I should look out for as my plant transition to the outside world???
Update on my plant…
Been outside for about a week…
Topped about a week ago…
Look pretty good to me
Every morning I’ll catch a bug or two on it…
Should I do a Foliar spray if so what kind???
