I have a drying/grow tent that I start my outdoor plants in. I run them on a 13.5 hour light cycle and transplant outside when the duration of daylight reaches 13.5. For me that's mid-may Look up the navy duration of daylight calculator. You will know exactly which day in your area. Your plants won't flower until the light cycle reaches 12 hours or close to it.

That may even be pushing it if they are sexual mature when you put them out. 15 to 151/2 is much safer if they are mature. Hope it works out for you

if u bring them down to 16-8 for couple weeks be a lot easier on the plants

I honestly dont think it matters, my veg tent runs 24/7 no breaks and I still my clones or vegged from seed from that environment to outside in 13+ hours of daylight at anytime.

The only care I take it I limit there sun the first few days/close to a week. Keep in a not full sun spot etc, harden them off. Never had a problem aslong as there getting 12+ of light

That is awesome...but I have had them flower before putting them out like that when I was new to growing. Tho they were 3 to 4 months old tho. I think how old the plant is may affect how it handles being put out...

The flower trigger point is strain dependent. A good rule of thumb is the first to flower in the fall will be the latest that can go outdoors safely. But 13 1/2 hours length of day is safe for most strains. {down here in the south, we never see 15 hours of sun}
