hi ..... Ich warte meistens so 3-4 Wochen , bzw. so lange bis der Stamm stabil genug ist und nicht beim ersten Windhauch umknickt........😌 Natürlich sollten die Wetterverhältnisse auch passen..... Viel Glück

If it is not cold overnight, you can put it outside straight away..................they have been growing like that forever already!

Is it windy is it hot / cold how big a plant is at 2-3 week old? Could be tiny still you want a plant to withstand outside with good hardening off

Wait about 2–3 weeks until it has a few sets of true leaves and a solid root system. Harden it off first (gradually more sun/wind over ~1 week), and make sure nights stay above ~15°C 👍

Yo MoggersT! That's an exciting stage to be at! Generally, you want to wait about 2 to 3 weeks until the seedling has developed at least two or three sets of "true leaves" (the jagged ones) and a strong enough root system to handle the elements. It is super important to "harden them off" first rather than just tossing them straight into the sun; start by putting them outside in a shaded, protected spot for an hour or two a day and gradually increase the time and sun exposure over a week. Keep a close eye on the nighttime temperatures as well, making sure it stays consistently above 15°C so the little one doesn't get stunted by a cold snap. Once she looks sturdy and is used to the breeze, she'll be ready to take on the great outdoors full-time! Happy Growing, Growmie!

Untill outside enviroment is appropriate & your seedling is strong enough Not to die from strong wind or a cold night… ( good Root zone)
