I had some papaya seedlings under lights and when I took it outside I left it in full sun for about an hour and it was toasted!
Good luck!
I made that mistake last spring with two Basjoo:






Lukily the Basjoos are almost immortal so they recovered within days and now one of them is on the ground about 1,6 meters in height , enduring hot, cold, strong sea winds as if it's made of steel....

I'll not do that mistake again , especially with delicate nanas as Dwarf Niņo or Gros Michel....
