, i am in the michigan ohio area & it has been really nice outside ,, i have mine already outside ,, i put them out on 4/20.. at about 2 inches tall .. 6 diff locations & 3 or 4 per location .... just keep a GOOD eye on the news for the local weather & 5 day forcast.. if i did see a cold night ahead i would use the 2 liter bottle method ... cut the bottem off the 2 liter & wrap the whole bottle in ductape so it is not see thru ,, place over ur babies & will be just fine ,, BUT i dont think it will get that cold until next winter /.at least i hope so

I would start them inside under a small light for about a week, start them in rockwool cubes i find them to be the best! just throw 1 seed (pointy edge up) in 1 rockwool cube and put all the rockwool cubes in a small container spread out with a clear plastic lid so the light can reach them, this will keep the humidity higher, then once they pop through the cube remove the lid, and when they are 2-3 inches tall put them outside, and yes you can leave them right in the rockwool!!! works like a charm too...

hope this helps
