Not really. Normally if we worry about the cold we cover them with some hay or some needle branches. Hay may be best for weed. Or something like that. Just to make the wind slow down and insulate a bit.

Don't have anything of that lying around... Temperatures are around 16 celsius, I'm trying to understand if the lack of light will kill the plant faster than cold

16° Celsius at night or day. Either way they'll probably be fine. They just won't grow much if at all. That's 69.8°f

Frost and heavy rain is a problem

Edit: I think you got the answer about the light in a post before

About the fact that the seedlings need diffused light?

At day. At night I keep them inside the house.

Yeah maybe i got a bit confused about the situation.

I think if this your 3rd try, maybe it better you share what you do.
Because i didn't know you could move the plant.
But i think people have helped what's possible from what you said.
I also dont know if it is an auto or reg.
Not much to go on.
But if you share some information on the soil the feeding, the watering and such, people get a better idea of what's going on.
Pictures maybe?

Ok. It's an auto. The soil is preloaded with nutrients, I bought it at a local grow shop and mixed it with perlite. I take the water from a well and use pH alterants to bring it to 5.5, I have only watered a bit the other day when I planted the seed and will water tomorrow. Plant is starting to blossom a little bit after I put it outside today.

Ok I'm not much into the ph thing but take a look on the soil bag a see if they write the ph value.
Because as i understand in soil it should be between like 6.3-6.8 or something like that.
My soil is that but it could be wrong.
It sounds like you use hydro ph. But as i said, I just grow and don't go too much into details so i could be wrong.

It's not the rain since I have some roofing, but the temperatures, it's too cold outside

I have seedlings outside when night temps are dipping down to the high 40's. Doesn't kill them and they dont even display the cold root deficiencies as seedlings yet, that comes after they throw a couple nodes. They just grow super slow is all.

I left it out today and I'm starting to see some growth

Be careful there playing with your pH. There's times where you want to be watching it like a hawk like if you're doing hydroponics and if you're adding nutrients to water that could trigger a drastic change in value. But for just watering, unless you're chasing a specific known problem you've run into with your soil, don't get all hung up about it. Not sure what inspired you to adjust to 5.5 but if you're in soil and not doing a deliberate correction that is too low. If you know for a fact there's no buffers in the soil or you know they're gone (reused soil) then you can proactively "keep it in the middle" by adjusting your input to 6.5. Healthy range in soil is 6.0-7.0 so you're setting it right in the middle so it contributes no drift. Again that's only if you have a known issue. With the unreliability of pH pens that lose calibration, you are likely to make things worse and not better trying to manage something that doesn't really need to be managed.

In the future you may want to keep it indoors till it's more developed.
I've tried what your doing and all autos just started to dwarf an flowers. Weather has to be consistently warm during the day 80f and not dip below 50f at night.
Photoperiod don't stall in lower temps just grow more slowly till temps are right.
