Do you need help identifying a 🌶?
Is your plant suffering from an unknown issue? 🤧
Then ask in Identification and Diagnosis.

Hey, we all learn the hardening off lesson one of the years AJ. 
In fact, I learned it badly three years ago when I started. Well, come to think of it, I just don't have enough patience to harden off peppers perfectly so every year they take some damage either due to sun or wind. It's all good in the end. It's just a mental roadblock to overcome when you see those poor white leaves!
Good luck with them all. They'll recover just fine.

I knew I was going to mess up this year since it is my first time starting from seed, and therefore I have a backup plan...don't want to "steal" this thread so I will start a new one called AJs Backups 05-12-08 with pictures of my backups...
If your plant has good roots that can take hold, the plants will live no matter the heat. You ought to see what a tobacco field use to look like two afternoons after planting - and that was in 90 degree heat and bright sunlight. Only the heart of the plant survived. Ditto for tomatoes.
My problem is trying to micromanage every plant. See a white leaf - grab the Epsom salt solution. Check them every morning, afternoon and night to see how they are doing. Adjust the lights daily, if not more often.
Alas, the affliction is carrying over to other plants - I find myself checking the potatoes a couple times a day and the tomatoes at least once a day.
