hey guys just looking for some advice about planting outside. i live in new England and well it really has not gotten all that warm its gets about 60-70 degrees F during the day but at night its been like 40-45 degrees F now i was shooting for may 5th but maybe i should wait until like the middle of may? im just not sure if the plants will survive during the night the strain is white widow and they are clones that have been in veg for about 1-2 and a half months so maybe they will survive

I'm also in the northeast and have started to acclimate my seedlings to the outdoors. 40 temps at night isn't going to kill em, they're a lot more hearty than you might think.

Something I would worry about is early flowering. If your light schedule is anything more than 18/6 you might wanna cut back the amount of light to like 14/10 over the course of a couple weeks. Just to be safe.

I'd wait until you have at least 14 hours of sunlight outside. I've timed mine for around the 20th of May when we have almost 14 1/2 hours of sunlight to be safe.

16/8 will probably be fine. I'm just over cautious. The longest day of the year is something like 15.5 hours.
