I just pulled a couple bonsai trees into my greenhouse for a first full day of sunlight probably 6 to 7 hours and came home to wilted leaves and brown tips what’s wrong??

What happens if a human sits indoors all winter and then spends 6-7 hours in full sun? They get burnt. Same with plants.

Plants need to be slowly introduced to increasing light over at least a week or more.

Could also be dry soil? But do not overwater in reaction;).

I'd bet on sunburn too. Leaves need to harden slowly to increased sun. I also see sunburnt leaves if I remove some outer leaves - the newly exposed inner leaves then get burnt.
The tree will usually just ditch the burnt leaves and grow a new set that will be adjusted to the sun levels - as long as you leave the trees where they are while the new leaves grow..

Sunburn, no question. It should not have been put directly into full sun for so long. It will get over it if it didn't dry too much.

What was the temperature like?

Of course you can reference your min/max thermometer to recall!

What? No min/max thermometer?

Might as well just chuck em in the garage!
Hehehehehehehheheheheheheheheh3eee!

It's just, we tend to think of a greenhouse as a positive, when, like everything else, it is a tool that must be wielded correctly!
