You move them outside when the daylight hours are conducive to veg stage.
Two major mistakes I have seen are...
1. growers trying to get an early jump on the season and the daylight hours are still only 12-12 outside. The plants flower, and they loose a month of growth attempting to re-veg.
2. growers have their indoor starter plants under 24 or 18 hours of light, then put them outside under the 14 hours of natural daylight. The plants flower due to the decreasing daylight hours they were used to and same situation occurs with reveg.
I start them inside under 14 hours per day of light. I move them outside when the natural daylight hours are closer to 14.
Shit, edit... I didn’t notice you said autos. This information above was for photoperiod. I have never grown autos, but would suggest putting them out when the spring rains are practically over and night time temps are high enough to maintain healthy growth.
