OK folks...I am getting ready to start the hardening off process with my first 120 seedlings (all superhots).
I have my make shift greenhouse that is covered with a transluscent plastic material.
Question is: Would it hurt the plants to be in this "indirect" light to begin with or do I need to move the seedlings in and out of the greenhouse to prevent sunscald? Most of the plants have only seen fluorescent lighting since emergence from the soil...they are all in 3" containers and will have to go thru another transplant or two depending on if I transplant to 6" containers before going to 5 gallon pots...
temperatures in the daytime can reach low 90s in the greenhouse while night time temps dip into the 50s....(farenheit)...I can control night time temps using lights close to the plants if necessary or some other method like a couple of strip heaters under the table they are going to be on...pictures will be coming this evening if I get to move any this afternoon after work...
any input very welcome...
Thanks...
