The weather where I live is going to be 60°F days with 50°F nights. I was wondering if I could put my VFT seedlings outside, and leave them outside to get exposure to sunlight?

They should be fine outside but you want to acclimate them slowly to full sun. Start with a couple hours in morning sun or shade and increase the amount of hours over a week or two. You don't want to put em straight out into a full day of sun or they may get burned.

One thing I do with veggie sprouts that I might try with my carnivores is put them outside in a milk jug that is almost completely cut in half so you can "open" and "close the top part. That way they are kinda protected from the temperature and you can regulate the sunlight to get them acclimated.
