as soon as the weather outside is warm enough you can put them outside but, you should wean them into it if possible. Meaning, set them outside for a few hours a day for a week or two gradually increasing the time they sit outside so they get accustomed to the weather, especially the cooler nights otherwise you can shock them.

You need to get them accustom to the great outdoors. Indoors they are protected from the full power of the sun. You need to slowly expose themto sun . Me personally, I just put mine out and have never had an issue.

All day, first day, but no more than a couple hours full sunlight, the rest of their outdoor recess, just shade & dappled sun. Your plant may not get a shock from the miracle gro, but it may give you a shock. See dirtdoctor.com, click the "Library, then click "S", then scroll down to Synthetic Fertilizer. Make sure you have 12 hours per day sunlight prior to leaving them out.
