Well i move my plant outdoors about 5 days ago and it seems to be doin fine except for some tan spots on one leaf and some animals chewing up another leaf. Anyone know what could be causing the brown spots?

the plant needs to be acclimated to outdoor light, not just set in direct contact with the sun. what you're seeing is burn marks. you start with indirect sunlight (shade), then from there go to partial sun, then half day direct sunlight...etc.

I wouldnt worry too much about the leaf just keep an eye on it. I would be more worried about the quality of that soil it looks pretty shit. Did you mix any compost or anything into it?

no, i'd leave the leaf on, but immediately remove the plant from direct sunlight and let it recover. a nice shady spot would be best for about a week, then go to a spot that has 2 hours or so of sunlight and shade the rest of the day. from there on out it's just a matter of acclimating the plant to the sun. there is no set timetable for doing so, since every strain is different, and variables differ. watch the plant closely and it will give you signs of what it can take.

Its been there for 5 days and its not in a pot. You want him to dig it up again and move it?? That will cause more stress on the plant than a 6th day of sunlight will...Its probably already sorted itself out by now anyway.
But if you do dig it up do something about that soil. Sand & pine needles isnt the best growing medium. Good luck.

the direct sunlight could continue to burn the shit out of the plant for the next week+, so if you want to talk about stress, that could stunt the hell out of the growth potential. imo, taking that plant from its current location to another is the best thing, unless it just gets some type of canopy cover for a while. 5 days in the ground isn't a long period, so it's not like the root growth has spread like wildfire. i'd say, dig it up (carefully), put it in a pot, and gradually acclimate it to the sun. just my .02

well before i put it in the ground i dug a deep hole and filled it up with soil and just covered the top with pine needles and crap so it blended in. I think im just going to let it stay put because yesterday it had a full day of clouds and some rain and today is overcast so hopefully it should be adapting to its new source of light. It makes me sad seeing it get burnt and eatin hahaha
