Do you need help identifying a 🌶?
Is your plant suffering from an unknown issue? 🤧
Then ask in Identification and Diagnosis.

Yes they will. Your windows block much of the UV light from the sun, so your plants still won't be accustomed to the full intensity.
What Comp said. Some people put their plants outside and put a net over their plants to shade them from the direct suns UV rays. By doing this the plants also get used to being outside. Of course using this method to harden plants off the temps have to be warm enough or can leave them out just for the afternoon.
I've got a little experiment going now I guess you could say. Took a plant straight from the aerogarden to the pot outside. So far so good!
Any way its warming up here and I'm gonna be taking my plants out soon. i have 3 huge pine trees and was gonna toss them under them. They won't get direct sun where I'm putting them. The problem is that i have 2 jobs and no time to jack around and move them back and fourth. Will that get the job done in a week or so? I can rescue them if it gets too cold at night but didn't know if they will get enough light to harden up
Where's the best place to find some? Also i kind of figured that's what the pine trees would do. Idk I've just go so much into all this and don't want to screw it up now. Then what about the plants i have under my hid? Will they stand a better chance than the ones under t8s
Your nearest hardware store, maybe Walmart might carry them?
Make sure they are small mesh nets and not a black color.The sooner you can get them outside to harden them off the better. Just make sure the temps arent to cold if you are wanting to leave them out over night.check up on the plants at least once a day.I will post a video of my buddy with his net and hardening his plants off, to give you a better idea.
Its not crazy hot yet but the days are getting longer and the whole next weekthe Lotte its going to be in the mid 40s with mid 60 highs. I'm running out of space fast and have lots of yard to put them in. Think that's too cold still? Wasn't going to plant them yet just wanting to get them ready.
What I think can always make a fool of me, but I think get them used to it, maybe a half day at a time for a few days and they will be all right but they ain't going to do a whole lot of growing until it warms up.
I usually do. I've had plants be uprooted before and don't feel like losing these.
I hear you there. Like i said tho i can't really bring them in and out for half days. I have 2 jobs at the moment and leave one job to go to the other. Really sucks but I'm only doing it for extra cash for the moment. Also there growing great inside. Haha!!! Might have pods sooner than ya think tho. Here's a couple quick shots i just took of one of my bhut Indian carbons
Trying to get you a size comparison
A couple little buds here. Been picking them off some of the plants and leaving others on some
what kind of light and how many ways was it under? Been wondering if hids would partially harden them off cause its so much brighter than flouros.
I'm not sure what kind of light the areogarden has. It looks like a CFL??? It was just a the 2 standard bulbs that come in a aerogarden. They make it pretty tough to find any other info about the bulb.

You should have added this to the hardening question thread not but 5 threads down. We do not need the same questions asked multiple times in different threads. Locked till I can merge.
