Lots of people do it but you might get critters doing that.
Perhaps on the roof?

I decided to place them on a window sill upstairs. I'm posting the pics in my grow diary if you're interesting in checking it out.

Careful, it's possible to burn them if they go from indoor to outside directly into bright sunlight.

hello
I am doing that all the time, but only because my micro grow is in testing right now for real micro grow cab which I am planning it these days. They didn't show anything wierd signs or anything else wasn't wrong.
Otherwise I think the plants shouldn't be moved to much.
On other hand I planted indoor seedling outdoor. It was 5 weeks inside. Now plant is doing just great.
Have fun.

That very thought was running through the back of my mind but I've been hanging around watching them all day. They are loving the extra light!

Perhaps I should have heeded your warning. Does the little amount of leaf curl indicate it got too much sun or is that amount of leaf movement acceptable? I thought they might have moved to allow more light to hit the main fan leaf.

To me it looks fine, usually when my babies are heat stressed or light stressed they tend to droop or go away from the sun but your baby is stretching her arms out soaking it all in.. but we all tend to get a little to excited and get sunburned, so maybe monitor how long shes out there..
yours look like it liked the light actually.
bugs would be the one thing that would piss me off though, bringing "whatever" crawls/flies in with you to then infest the rest of your babies.

Yup very dangerous habit bringing plants in and out

They COULD get UV burn if left out long enough. My main concern would be bugs.

Yeah, I won't be bringing these two outside again. I found a small critter last night after returning them to the basement and that is enough evidence for me. Though I'm inspired to try an outdoor grow next year.

Fungus gnats, besides the mosquito dunks, try rubbing alcohol, kills all bugs and eggs but not the plants.
I'm vegging a bunch of little clones outside for a couple weeks, I have a buddy who does this and the veg outside makes the stems strong and happy plants. He says he does get bugs, but outdoors the predator bugs quickly set up a good balance, so when you bring em inside you bring in predator bugs too.

I have early morning to mid morning sun come thru the bed room window and I give them a sunbath. Window open and screen closed.
