In MI I wait until we have 13.5 hours of sun and temps in the mid 50's- 70F. Then I place my seedlings in the sun and watch them. First sign of wilt or droop, in they come. And try again until I can leave them in sun all day. Some strains there is no issue. Others take days to harden. Just don't toss them outside and call it good. It is a easy transition.

She is a lady after all. Gotta treat her right. But the payoff is worth it :bigjoint:

So does a small utility cart with pneumatic wheels. As an old timer I ain't lifting any more than I have to. LOL. As well as those carts from harbor freight for furniture.
Sadly this is on the second floor. I'm gonna have a flight of stairs and a landing with a right angle turn to deal with. Oh well where there's a will there's a way i guess, or so they say

And this is a lovely conversation but i still need a definitive answer on watering, i think you just told me it should get 6 gal for 18 gal tote? So 6 gal - .79 gal (what it's got today already ) = 5.21 gal. Just wasn't sure i understood you. If that's the case i'll go give it 5 gal right now

Apologies. Hope my mouth offered a few tips. Watering over 6 gal pots is beyond me. In ground if growing that kind of plant.
