The direct sun thing is basically about shock from transplantation. It's not a hard and fast rule but rather a good practice so they can focus on building roots. I've generally kept them out of direct sun for a week, or thereabouts. The high 60s are fine



If your soil is good you likely don't need to fertilize right away. I'd give it a while. You could mix some mycorrhizae into the soil though, to help root growth.
Well nights are low to high 60s but days are still in upper 70s low to mid 80s. So a week from now or a full 2 weeks from me receiving these TCs will they be able to take full sun without getting scorched leaves?
