Need to harden off with full spectrum LED?

Currently have some plants under 1000W LED that has a spectrum of 380nm to 780nm. Is that little bit of UV 380-400nm enough to not need to harden off the plants when moving outside?

I'm unfamiliar with that lighting and hopefully someone will jump in shortly.
 
But I will say that the direct sun UV can decimate young plants in short order so proceed with caution!
 
Thanks all, I'll play it safe and still go through a hardening off process but maybe a little more aggressive than usual and see how that goes.
