I live in Sacramento, CA. I'm pretty sure our frost period is past. I've been growing tomatoes, jalepenos, banana peppers, and artichokes indoors for a few months now, and we are having a nice bit if weather (75*F) my house has been about 70* recently up to 73* in the afternoon, and the plants are doing great, they are on a grow light as well getting about 12-14 hours of light. So since I knew it would be nice today I grabbed some of the bigger ones and threw them outside for a little out door conditioning since they will eventually end up in the ground outside with the rest of my crops.

I came home today about 9 hours later, and they are all kindda yellower and wilty. They didn't dry out, I put them in a shaddy spot. any ideas why they failed so bad? It was maybe 3-4* warmer than they are used to, and a little breezy in the backyard today.
