Can I Start Autoflowers Indoors Then Move Them Outside?

[ExtremelyUrgent]

Hi Everyone, I am new to gardening cannabis and I am wondering if it will work to start autoflower strains under an LED grow light indoors for about 4 or 5 weeks until it warms up and then move the autoflowers outside under the wonderful sunshine.
I ask because people say autoflowers can be kinda finicky and I want to make sure and get this right from the start.
Thanks!

I have started autos indoor under LED strips until they start to flower then move them outside due to space issues. I find the sativa or higher sativa % hybrids seem to do better outdoor. I did a ghost tooth by mephisto this way and got 4 - 5 Oz.

You’ll want to harden them off, rather than just move them outside, so you don’t stunt them from light shock.

I did autos indoors under blurples for about 3 weeks or until they were about 8 inches tall and then went right outside with them. They did just fine... Finished about 3 feet tall around week 10.

I just finished a round of autos and did that same thing but went farther with it. 18/6 until they started to bud then threw them outside. Some I left indoors some I grew as house plants! The best way I found is to grow them in a grow bed and popped plants in everywhere cause the short life means not as big root mass. I grew 4500 of these last year outdoors and they will survive all the way down to 40 degrees. You can literally throw the seeds in the ground and let them go!

Click on where it says "harden them off" in the post you quoted. Notice how those ords are a different color? That's because I put a link to information on the subject in there.

DANG! 4500 You Say! WOW! Do You have like an army of helpers??? I can't Imagine what it must take to produce like that!
Do You have a favorite strain or a favorite breeder?
