My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Sunscalded Bhuts

15 years ago

I've got 5 bhut seedlings with their first true leaves that I just accidentally left out in the noonday sun while I was hardening them off. Long story short, got busy with work before going "Oh crap, the peppers!"

They've all got varying degrees of white leaves now, especially on the new true leaves they just sprouted. Whoops.

Should I be at all concerned with the fact my young plants have half white leaves, or is it more of a "Just don't do it again and they should be fine" kind of deal?

I also just ordered some additional seeds from NMSU. If I let these sprout outside in full normal sun am I going to have to be as careful about protecting them from sunscald as I apparently have to be with these current ones, or is sunscald on pepper leaves something that only really applies to young plants that were grown indoors? As in, does sprouting in full sun "pre-harden" the plants?
