Depends how cold we talking about outside? And most likely, even if you took them out gradually, they would go into shock, stunt growth and or bud development for a while. Why even take the risk taking them outside? They look like they are 2-3 weeks into flower already, You should leave them exactly where they are at to finish flowering, they could be ripe in another 4-6 weeks approx Nice looking plants though, keep up the good grow.

thanks man , but im runnin out'a room ..it's too crowded ..
they are auto's , so wont they be more durable to shock n such ?

i did a little research on the web and found out that switching from indoor to outdoor - called "hardening off" ,
at first put them in the shade for a day or two,and then expose them to direct sun - with a gradation pace.
hope it'll work...

Most people harden off plants when they are still in their veg state, still alive and growing, not flowering. Also, plants stop growing once they begin to flower, all the work goes into bud development, your plants right now are not going to get very much bigger if at all, All you gotta do is let the buds fill in, and taking them outside is asking for trouble, what are you hours of light per day right now? Taking them outside could also revert them to veg, and no bud, but most likely the plants will get shocked, and when a plant gets shocked, it stops growing for a period of time if not die.

look at how cold is it overnight and the hours of dark. Here some of mine might need supplemental light or they would barely flower in the next two months because its too cold. Try a cold frame or greenhouse to keep in heat . when the overnight lows stay above 55 you can put plants outdoors and plant a new lawn
