its either go 12/12 now and put them out when they show females.. risk hermie's or just wait till they show sex under 20/4 light

Put them out now. No artificial light will match the intensity of the sun atm, put them out they are big enough. Also they are much easier and safer to transport while small.

yea man unless you have some tinted windows rapist van how do you expect to move the plants? but maybe the site is easy to get to idk. but the sooner they go outside the better they become adjusted to outside conditions.

bigger plants = less susceptible to slugs. slugs are their nemesis when they're small. i also live in southern canada.

well you live in southern canada, so we have about the same climate... are you putting some out this year and if so did you already ?

i'm not doing any OD this year, but generally plants are good to go outside after victoria day weekend, climate-wise.

are your girls half a foot tall single stalks, or half foot bushes?

and that was... what, 5 days ago now? so they're probably a bit taller now?
personally i'd grow them a *bit bigger before putting them outside but i've also had entire crops of starts *decimated* by slugs (that was on an island where there are HUGE banana slugs *everywhere*).... but, climate wise, you can put them out whenever you want now.

do you want/not want bushy?
