Hardening Off Question

R

Ronin

Hi,
its time for my peppers to go outside now in my area, but I have a question about hardening them off. They will be going in a greenhouse, so do I still need to harden them off? Or is there no need when putting them in a greenhouse?
 
Should always harden them off or transition them slowly to reduce both sun scald and/or shock. With you being in canada, I imagine your growing season is not very long so you probably can't afford to set your grow back by throwing them into shock.
 
You might have to just feel it out. Once they are big enough they handle hardening off better. Maybe even throw a little shade cloth over your greenhouse in the beginning to help them transition.
