I don't want to jump the gun, but I don't want to be wasting valuable growing time either. Right now, they're in a spare bedroom with lights. Half of them are half dead, or dead, and trying to nurse them back, and the other half are new tc babies. I have a carport with good shade, but of course, it's cooler in the shade also.

When do YOU decide that it's time to bring them out? Does it vary depending on age, size, health? What's your minimum temp where you feel it's safe to start hardening them outside? Does me having lights on them now, make it easier for them to adjust? UGH so many questions!
