This is the darkest spot in the yard no sunlight all day. It stays in shade and is alittle cold.

That is pretty close to what Mg described. Her plan is for gradual steps over 8 - 11 days.

What if the process is done and it snows and you can put them outside.
For a week do you stick them by a window or back under your lights? And if you do put them back under the lights for awhile do you have restart the process again. To get them used to the sun?
