Will do.....I've only got a relatively short wish list (13 plants) so it will be nice to shave it down by a couple.

Generally the key to hardening off seedlings are 3 things.

Slowly acclimate the seedlings from a high humidity environment to a lower humidity environment.

Slowly acclimate the seedlings from a low light environment to a higher light environment.

Protect from the harsh conditions of the outdoors.

Each seedling will behave differently, so you will have to be observant of them.

The acclimation process can take a few weeks to a few months depending on the seedlings.

Larger seedlings usually take a shorter amount of time to acclimate than smaller seedlings.

Treat any seedling under 2.54 cm (1 inch), with care, they are usually still delicate and do not acclimate quickly.
