Just a note on what HerbalEdu has said... when you are moving the plants outside, you need to be cautious because the sun is WAY stronger than any light they've been exposed to - even if they've been in a sunny window... the glass in the window will filter out the UV light... so set your plants outside but in a shaded spot to begin with... after a day or two there, they can be moved to direct sunlight, again as the quote HerbalEdu gave, a little at a time. I prefer to "acclimate" my plants (no matter what kind of plant it is) to morning sun first, rather than intense mid-day sun... I put mine, after their few days in the shade, in the morning sun but back in the shade about 11am... after a few days of that treatment, they'll be ready to go outside in their permanent spot... but only if the day time and night time temps are warm enough! Good luck!

The sooner they are outside, the stronger they will become. The longer you "baby" them, the longer they will take to adapt. Have been sprouting and growing outdoors from day one until harvest for close to 40 years and can tell you, they will be just fine outside from the moment they are born.

After the the first true leaves appear, they are ready for mild morning sunlight everyday. The fresh air will really give them a boost.

As herbaledu said. I find it best to keep them in the tent until there more established that way they don't get fucked up by to much rain, to strong a wind and any big temp changes. But you could always try experimenting, start another seed and put one outside straight away and keep the other inside for a few week then put that outside and see how they do.

cannabis has grown outdoor for thousand years so, for real it can grow outdoor from start to finish. now to prevent potential temperature, sun, wind, early pest damage(s) you want to wait a little: "Seedlings intended for outdoor growing should be kept by a sunny window for the first week or two after emerging from the soil. When they have grown their second or third set of serrated leaves (after the the round cotyledons that initially emerge from the seed) seedlings are usually hardy enough to flourish in direct sunlight. If outdoor temperatures are suitable, seedlings may be acclimatised to direct sunlight by giving them progressively longer daily exposure to outdoor conditions. Starting with about three hours outside, at the sunniest time of day, seedlings can be given an extra hour of outside exposure each day, so that within about two weeks they can be left outdoors permanently." source: https://sensiseeds.com/en/blog/when-can-seedlings-be-put-under-lights-in-the-sun/ Happy growing
