Sunscald; put them out with some partial shade for a few days as they get
acclimated to _real_ sunlight.
At one point I got a light meter to determine what my artificial lights
were doing. It was shocking to see the difference between outdoor
sunlight, sunlight in a double-wall polycarbonate greenhouse, and
fluorescent grow lights!


Good tip. Many thanks
