This is what happened after I put them outside for two hours on a warm day. No sun since it was overcast mostly cloudy. Why did they die? 🤦🏻♂️

Small, dry, and stressed? Give them plenty of water and see if they perk up.
When hardening off seedlings, my seedlings are a lot bigger, and their first 2 hours are in the shade in the afternoon. The next day they get 4 hours in the afternoon shade. Their next few days are different, depending on the first two days go.

Pretty clearly lack of water.

I start my seeds in md February, take them outside at first sign of no more nights under 50F. This year, that was last weekend. By then, they are about a foot tall, and do not need to harden them. They do great almost immediately, and as soon as I pot them up, they start growing like crazy. All I can assume i that they handle the transition well because I have very bright light on them for 12 hours per day, and oscillating fans on them 24/7. They don’t even seem to notice the transition from inside to outside…

The sun is stronger than you think. Even when cloudy it can be a shock to plants accustomed to being inside.

Super dry, look how much the soil has shrunk. That’s all.
