I know it's late and I took all year

I know its late in the year to start an outdoor grow...especially in the extreme California heat but I started a one plant grow this week. I'm growing a Durban Poison plant and it just popped up through the dirt. I easily removed the open shell. It's about 3mms above the dirt so it's really tiny. My concern is that the tips of the little claw like top of the sprout are brown. Everything else looks to be a healthy green but the tips are kinda freakin' me out. If they're not supposed to be brown, then I'm already off to a bad start. Could this just be the hot sun. I drew a little picture to help show what I'm talking about.

Are you going to hot glue fake plants to the stems?

If it is heat damage the tips is where it will start to show first. Keep an eye on the others as they come in.
I feel ya on the heat, I'm down south Ca.

ya, the heat is freaking me out in general. is it really ever this hot??? i guess that's a discussion for another thread. Anyway, yeah i think when my plant starts to look more like marijuana plant i'll do the fake plant thing.
