Afraid that my squash plants needed more room to grow from being sow indoors I transplanted some of them in mid March. However I noticed that the temperatures were not very good to them. I transplanted them in 2 separate areas in my backyard. Some of them receive full sun, the rest partial sun due to my lack of space. I noticed that the ones that receive full sun seem to be thriving better, however all of them have grown white lines on the leaves. What does that indicate?

Will my squash plants make it through the low temperatures? April is almost here!!! I'm new to this and consider it a trial and error process with the early transplants. I have a few more indoor squash plants that are growing beautifully, I would appreciate some tips so that my next transplants are more successful. Thanks!

*Look at the comparison of the ones transplanted outdoors to the ones I kept indoors! Obviously the instructions to sow in ground would have failed me in the germination process and forth.

More info:
Summer Squash, Goldtender, Burpee Seeds, Sow indoors March 5, Germinated March 13, still growing in cups due to low temperatures outside, beginning to harden off indoor plants, receives 5-8 hours of sun daily depending on the weather

Any advice is appreciated! :)
