Yesterday i purchased a PURPLE DIESEL CLONE from a local dispensary Im a FIRST TIME GROWER an i wanted to know how long should i harden it off for? I dont wanna make the same mistake i did with my first 3 clones of not hardening them off an just throwing them outside. The Clone is already well rooted so i transplanted it into a 1 gallon pot with FOX FARM OCEAN FOREST soil an i gave it its first watering today an i mixed in the gallon of water 1/2 a table spoon of general organics BIO ROOT an fed it till it dripped from the bottom. so i was wondering how long should i harden it off for? an how many hours should i leave it in direct sunlight for? should i bring it inside after its been in direct sunlight or just leave it outside in the shade?? The Temp Is In The HIGH 50's LOW 60's ..any tips or help would be really appreciated. an im located in NORTHERN CALIFORNIA(BAY AREA)

Just put it under the shade for what maybe a day or two? Then put it under the sunlight.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, just to get the topic going for him.

when you put them out put them where they will get morning sun until about 10am then give them partial shade the rest of the day. increase their sun exposure by 1 hour every other day for about a week untill they are in full sun.

Ok sounds good. But do you think i should leave it outside overnight? Or is it too cold for them an I should bring em in overnight?

i have been bringing mine in at night because its been a bit cold, but im planting tomorrow because im sick of taking them in and out. as long as the nights stay above 50*F you'll be ok. if it gets cold cover them with a cardboard box over night.
