When to move my plants outside

This is my first grow-- 5 autoflowers that I'm starting inside under CFL's. My plants are all about 2 weeks old and are looking beautiful and healthy. My main question is:

When do I know when I can put these in bigger pots and move them outside? I can't afford to keep them under CFL's, so I wanna try to grow them in the great outdoors. I've done lots of research on soil, nutes, care, etc. but I don't know if my babies will be able to take the outdoors at this point. Any input would be great, thanks peace

Look up when your last expected frost date is for this year & your area-- then wait a week...

remember- do NOT just stick them outside- they will get sunscald... you need to "harden them off" by putting them out a few hours at a time and building up to being out all the time..
even when cloudy out- the sunlight is still more intense than CFL's!

Thanks for the fast responses and perfect answers! My last frost is this Friday and I'll make sure to get my plants acclimated to the sun and elements before putting then out permanently :weed:

You live in a busy neighborhood? I say that because you don't want helicopters in the area

I live in a pretty secluded area with chill neighbors, lots of tree coverage too :). The only thing between me and harvest is patience and care :bigjoint:
