I'm trying what Gary Pilarchik (on youtube) recommends which is to set them out a bit early on as long as the temps are in the 40's at least. I'm trying to get them used to the sun (and wind) a bit before bringing them back in to the comfort and safety of the grow light. My first time trying growing from seed using t5 grow light setup so I am no expert. Just telling you what I've learned and am learning. I am gambling on his experience but have been watching his videos for several years now. Barring any trauma to the plants, I will continue doing this. I just set one tray outside yesterday (peppers) for half an hour and the temp was 48 degrees. It was also an overcast day here in PA. I saw no ill effects. Hope this helps.
