Loulac, really? 1/2 hour, then one hour, then 8 hours or more?

I never understood how people could harden their plants off within a few days; I start with an hour for a few days, then 2 for a few days, then 3 for a few days, etc.

When I've gone from about 1 1/2 hours to in-ground I've gotten sunburn on the leaves. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.
