Transfered my plant outdoor after vegging under light. Problems with the strong winds as well as over feeding nitrogen. Any advice is appreciated? Can you tag some experienced outdoor growers into the thread?
Welcome Plantabuse nice to see you.

Welcome! When you move seedlings that have been under lights outdoors you also have a huge issue with sunburn, especially with tropicals like peppers. I can see that also being an issue. It won't show up immediately but you'll see it start to really affect the surface of the leaves. Recommend shading them for about a week until they get accustomed to that full broad spectrum and the extra UV. Just something to keep in mind for future. Best of everything in your grow!

Thanks. Yes I have encountered the sunburn from extreme change in environment mostly on my bigger plants not so much smaller ones. Do you know of a way to get larger stronger stalks? Besides feeding silica?

Magnesium is great for getting stronger roots and by extension, stems. Epsom salts are a great addition. We use epsom extensively in rose cuttings and grown plants. The wind moving over the plants will eventually strengthen the stems and trunk, but I'd advise staking carefully until the roots start to adjust to supporting the strain.

Never tried Epsom salt and not going to start now but thanks for your input, I think this plant has a weak pheno which is why it's not growing properly?
Welcome to 420mag Plantabuse
You probably have used Epsom salts and didn't know it...it's in most garden soils that are ready to use...1 teaspoon per gallon is what I use, if I need it...and your plant looks fine, just hungry and root bound...next time try putting your outdoor girls in at least a 15gallon pot, they tend to get bigger outside and need the room...and I would recommend some perlite to mix with that soil...

Some look good but some clones are not growing.
This girl is not happy and hasn't taken to the sunlight seems like it's slowly dying?!

You can use the Report Post link at the bottom of your first post in the thread to have it moved to an appropriate section of the forum (Outdoor Growing, et cetera) if you don't want people to offer a welcome (which they'll do, when someone posts in the Introduce Yourself section, lol).

The one not liking the great outdoors. Did you acclimate her slowly over a few days?

I put her in a spot where there was no direct sunlight in a semi shaded area as an attempt to acclimate her but must have been too intense
It happens. Hope she makes the turn ok.
