Indoors to outdoors. Need advice

wus up guys need a little info/advice. I am a big out doors guy, it has been my only way thus far. With that being said this year I decided to start some of my ladies indoors with my tomatoes and cucumbers and shit under my T5's to try and speed up things a bit. But here's where it my get a little tricky or well I don't know what to do. I went back and check my seed order and turns out I accidentally ordered 4 autoflowers and one reg. fem. instead of jus strate gems. So first of all I'm not sure when I need to move them outside and I'm def not sure how the autos will react to that. Anyone out there that can help please hit back. THANKS

Easy them out shaded sun light for atleast 5 days a little direct ok hete in there but minimal other than your good maybe a little superthrive to help with shock from transplant.

& bury the plants down deep so you choke up as far as you could on the plant... Unless you wanna risk the wind murdering one of your angels :-/

Ok. Thanks all ! But I do have one more issue. I just realized that I have probably made a bid mistake. So like I was saying all I was trying to do was spread my crop up this year so I could try and get 2 this summer. So I wasn't really thinking about how the change in light cycles would affect my ladies. I've been running a 24 strate cycle so idk what to do about that either. Would it be a good idea to start by maybe going 23-1 for a day or so then 22-2 then 21-3 and so on until I get to the current light time outdoors in my areaand just stay on that until their ready and then make the move and Ease them out.

Run 18/6 for a week then slowly move them outside carefully controlling the speed they're exposed to direct sunlight. Use a shady tree or area to start them off them move them more into the field or designated grow area. The sun may not feel it, but it is much stronger than any light you have set up. It will burn your leaves. Good luck

If you have a porch that gets the morning sun at first light, that works great for me ....the rest of the day the porch shields them from the sun....about a week to 10 days on the porch and I start letting them have sun until about noon then return them to the porch ....slowly lengthen the time there out and within 2 weeks they will safely be ready to take the sun with no issues ....you can actually see when the little plants are acclimated to the sun/hardened off .....there leafs actually don't look as tender and some strains even get a shiny waxy look to em ......but I've been doing it forever so it may just be me idk ...GL

One more thing if you move them to the edge of the sun/shade line when hardening them off .....you'll notice the plants actually looking for the sun and literally following it with there tops ....that's another good indicator there ready in my experience ......I do a week on the porch in full shade where they only get sunrise light ...then move them to the edge of the patio where they get bits of sun throughout the day and that's usually when I notice them leaning/looking/following the sun ....then off they go ......2 week process roughly for me ......GL
