Wait till they're 10 days old.

Click to expand...

you can..

they germinate in nature in direct sunlight so yes you can ,

but dont let them dry out...that would be bad...

if your planning on putting them outside id start by putting them in the shade in either the cooler hours of the morning or early evening...you dont want direct sunlight just yet cause itll fry your babies...over the course of the next week or so you want to gradually expose them to more light so they have a chance to aclimate to the sun...this process is called "hardening off"...good luck...

right on man,just dont give em too much too fast until they can take it...if your in soil remember to shade the pot cause direct sun can super heat the soil inside and cook your roots...good luck...
