Yeah you can do that. Just be sure to acclimate it to sunlight at first which means to start it in shade then increase amount of sun each day slowly. If you put a plant that hasn't had sunlight under the sun too fast it will bleach the plant

hi nizza so if i give it like 15 minutes sun a day then in shade for the rest of day or what if i have then in sun all day under sun shade cloth that i use for my tomatoes would that work.

Outside, keep pests in mind. Thrips, mites, packs of wild snails, etc. Keep them safe.

thanks will do they are in a huge seed raising box which is secured with vents lined in stockings to let air in but not insects its nearly spring here and raising them to get them ready to go outdoors in late spring here in new zealand raising inside and outside because its 2 weeks away from spring here and weather is unpredictable as it changes into spring like the username tinteastwood

Sounds like a nice setup. I see...it's spring there in New Zealand. You are getting ready for an outdoor grow.
Whereas here in California it's mid summer and blazing hot in the 100s.

Best wishes on your grow.
