Outdoor Autos (NL, PH, CJ)

If its cloudy it will be fine. If its sunny put them in part shade. If a plant is going to be grown outdoors I like to give them as much sun as possible if the weather is good. It will help them adapt to the light. Given these where started in doors they will need a small hardening off period. Let them experience the wind and sun in small exposures then work up to longer ones before transplanting them into full sun. DLI or PPFD from anything that is not a real light meter with a quantum par sensor is just a guesstimate, its not that accurate. its really only accurate when calibrated with a proper light meter. HOWEVER it is consistent, so if it says 400PPFD and they are growing well. aim for that amount, just realize it is not really 400PPFD. I fuck aorund with alight meter in my honey mints diary aorund week 5, it was nice. I got the reading for my tent and current lights. Also looked at windows aorund me and outside. its cazy how much stronger light is in some areas. Good Luck!

few hours for first few days, then add an hour or so each day, till they can tay all day outside, that will prevent shock. good luck !

400 PPFD is fine as long as you’re hitting your DLI. I like to go around 350 PPFD for the first two weeks at 18/6 light on/off. If they are stretching a ton and need support, try making a plant stake out of cable that has a small loop on the top and then about a 6” steak part that is bent down at 90 degrees. Hook the loop part onto your plant stalk and then press the steak part into the soil. This will stabilize the plant. Also, getting airflow on them helps. Give them enough to rattle them around a little bit and they will naturally increase their stalk girth to help stabilize. I hope this helps.
