Have grown plenty of chillis before but have never had this problem. I started them off indoors and they are about 2 months old, up until today they looked very healthy and green. I thought I'd pop them out in the sun today only to find that after a few hours the leaves had gone completely white. Almost like they had been bleached. Now a few of them are wilting and yet they have been watered well. The true sets of leaves seem to be less damaged. Will try to get a photo up later when I can.

I have checked for aphids and found the odd one or two, nothing serious.

All 50 seedlings appear affected. The only change in environment has been that I put them out in the sun. Any ideas what this might be?

IMO Just like you on holiday, trying to get a suntan, they don't like suddenly being put in full hot sun  8) They need to get used to it gently  :lol:
