We have about 14.5 hours of light now so you're ok, I prefer to wait until 15 hours to make sure anything I put out doesn't start flowering. I'd still wait a few days to make sure the nights aren't too cold. I'm up Collingwood way and we've had frost conditions most of this week at night.

Here's a reference to use for daylight hours, anything under 14 hours will start them flowering for most strains. Just change to the closest city/area you're in.

When moving an indoor plant outside it is a good idea to keep handy some way to help warm the plants. I'm in northern Michigan and I used a plastic laundry basket where I stapled clear plastic film to the inside of the basket. In an emergency I was thinking I could use a regular 40-gallon trash container turned upside down. Obvious problem with Plan B is the lack of light.

Keep us posted on your results. Learning is a two-way street, eh?

Good luck, BigSteve.

Almost forgot -- True Value Hardware carries 3 sizes of what they call "Gardien" - Plant Protection System. They look like Styrofoam traffic cones and are made to fit over plants in cold weather. I used the small one which is 19 inches tall. Worked great for me.

Most use may 24 weekend as general date to plant veggies n such.
Next week temps look good though.
Im moving my plants outside may 22 to be safe.

Thanks again this has all been helpful. I've been thinking of moving them Monday since the weather is sunny all week
Yeah it's looking like next week we may finally see some decent day and nighttime temps, should be good to go. I'd always used the May 24 weekend as the line for any plants outdoor but some years if we're getting decent temps like last year I was planting mid May.
