I have several 5 day old plants that are in pots sitting on my balcony receiving approx 2-3 hours of direct sunlight every day. Is it too soon to put them in a different part of my yard where they can receive 6-7 hours of direct sun without burning?

Depends on how cool the roots can stay and how moist you can keep the soil. In nature they can handle full sun of spring so technically they can handle it but......

Yeah, we are headed for several hot days ahead so maybe I'll wait until they pass or at least until they are about two weeks old. I keep forgetting its a weed and can handle nature but...

Cannabis is NOT a weed. Maybe in few parts of the world. It will grow naturally in places with enough nutrients to sustain it pretty much.... That's not a weed. Weeds grow everywhere, are a pain in the ass to get rid of and keep coming back.

I wish cannabis were truly a 'weed'.

Due to all the indoor controlled environment various strains have been bred for, I would say most of the 'top' strains today have no actual place in the world where they would grow flawless without any harm... because so many past generations have been bred outside of actual nature.

I get them in full sun as soon as possible, I hade some out all day today that are just cotyledon + 1/16th" true leaves, I think I germed them (direct in Jiffy-7's) 3 days ago maybe?? If you wait two weaks you will end up with stretchy weak bastards that need to be hardened off, just watch them like a hawk especially at first, if they start drooping give them some shade, but they won't if you start early. I still give them a day in shade, then filtered/dappled, then it's full sun baby! They absolutely f%^*ing love it!
