I 'm taking them in and out for now---I had the same question---I started slowly

I always put mine under the big old shade tree. If no shade, I agree with "lefox". They will blister if that get too much sun and especially sun and wind combined for the first few days.

Enjoy your new found passion. It will only get better when you get your first bloom. We've been known to be outside at night with the flashlight watching the bud to see if it's open. FUN!!!

Blessings to all, Mona

I do same as Mona. Put them in a shaded, protected area and then slowly move into the sunshine.

We used to grow all of our seedlings in a hydro unit and you had no choice. When you take the tray out you plant them where they will live. They did just great.

I moved mine out to the front porch, which I covered in 6 mil poly. They stay out there 24/7 now, and, in a few weeks, I'll probably plant them in the ground. I figure that if they can handle light frost on the front porch, they should do fine in the ground.

A couple days I had them in direct sun a few hours....this seemed not to phase them. Tough little buggers!

Thanks for all the info on this... I have them on my shaded back patio. They seem to be doing well. I am just afraid with 100 degree heat, that little seedlings would not make it through the Texas summer. I was thinking of planting them in fall, and letting them over winter. They are growing well in gallon pots for now...
