Hi all,
Asked something similar a few weeks ago and I have been taking the seedlings out from 8-10 to catch some morning rays. They then go back under my marshydro for the rest of the day. I read a post where some shade cloth could help with acclimation.
I crafted a minigreenhouse with some 40% shade cloth and was wondering if I could just toss the seedlings outside under this set up. I am in zone 9 and the highest temperature will be 73 with lows in the 40s-30 over the next 10 days. I know chucking a plant out into 90 degree weather is risky, but is it safer to throw my seedlings out all day under the greenhouse material and shade cloth since its much cooler?
Also want to do this so that they would maybe undergo a mild dormancy. The photoperiod would go from 18 hours under my lights to the 9 hours of sun my backyard currently gets. Here is a picture of the set up and what full sun looks like hittting the seedlings at an angle vs what comes through the greenhouse material and shade cloth.
