Too much sun too soon?

enchant · April 3, 2017

I planted my seeds about 10 days ago. Most seedlings are now nearly 2" tall and living under a grow light.

It's still chilly outside. Even though it's a bright sunny day, temps are only in the upper 40's.

On an impulse, I recently bought this plastic greenhouse from a local dollar store for $20. It's about 2' square and 5' high, covered in clear plastic. Today I put it out on the back deck and put a thermometer in it. And although the surrounding air is under 50, it's almost 80 inside, in the shade.

But is this too early for direct sunlight on my infants?
