Hardening seeds started indoors

[LordJoshaeus]

Hi everyone! I have some lettuce and radish seedlings that are VERY ready to be moved outdoors. My question is, how do I do so without fatally shocking the seedlings? Thanks

Put them outside in indirect sun and out of the wind for a little longer each day until they stand on their own. Start with a half hour or so and build up to a couple hours, and they should be fine.

OK! Thanks

I put my new seed sprouts in the shade and move them towards the sun a little each day. It takes about 7 days to get used to the Sun.

Hi everyone! Started hardening the seeds off today...I left the seedlings in the sun on my back porch for an hour today and then put them back under their lamp. Will do this for a few days before moving to two hours a day for a few days...then three hours a day...then leaving them outside unless a frost is forecast.
