rain ing on my plants

this is my 2nd grow. first one was a disaster.

now i have 5 plants that just sprouted 3 or 4 days ago, their currently on my roof, i plan to move them to feild that i found a few days ago when they get to be a few inches taller.

i've been giving them distilled water, nothing else for the first few days once a day. then the leaves started cupping, which, if i'm not mistaken is a sign of overwatering? they were probly an inch tall when i checked on them yesterday.

anyway, yesterday it started raining kinda heavily, last night after the rain the leaves were sort of starting to droop. and now it's raining pretty good again today.

dumb question maybe, i'm a little worried about overwatering, should i bring them inside or not because i mean it is like 95 degrees and humid and sunny as shit where i live so...

thx

I never grow outdoors, But i have read a lot of people saying that they grow their plants for the first 2-4 weeks indoors , then they move them outside.

so what do you think? bring em inside or let em kick it out in the rain and sunshine?
i would think it would be fine do your pots have good drainage? the hot weather will dry them out fast so i wouldnt worry about it. unless the rain starts to break the stems because theres too much weight on the leaves tha tmight be a problem i had that happen b4 but they regrew up normally its pretty amazing what those weeds can take

I think it depends on your weather personally, they like upper 60's and lower 70's to get started. The wind and rain and sun are great for them to strengthen and not be shocky when you set them out, hardening them off slowly. I then to keep mine outside in a sheltered spot, good light and breeze. Best of luck.......outside is the only way to grow the best plant.:hump:

idk maybe not. a lot of chemicals evaporate with the water. i was using distilled water before it rained.
