Thanks Dice. I noticed that the plants I bought from the nursery have leaves that are sturdier than the plants I am growing from seed. Does this happen when hardening off or is it just a natural occurance of maturity? There seems to be a lot of info on hardening off but I'm curious of what I'm looking for in my seedlings as I go thru the process. How do I know when they are hardened off and ok to just be out? Great website by the way.
