Full moon is today. I'd wait another 7-10 days then go for it.

Mine went in today, with the full moon (Planting Moon). If you put them out before the end of the month be prepared to cover them and keep tabs on night time temps !!!

I can always move them in if it's too cold tht night but what's the minimum temp they should be out? And would it smart to keep them in under a tube fixture tht shuts off before sunset?

For young plants you don't want the temp too much below 50 degrees I'd say.

I'd keep em pampered indoors until late May/June 1st to be safe.

i have 6 plants too ironically and i'm in southern mass area as well. i'm going to put a few tomato plants the same size as the Mj plants out and see how they do outdoors at night, and if they survive then i don't see all the others wouldn't.
