greenhouse to non greenhouse

Posted by alm350 KY (My Page) on

the problem i keep having is moving my plants from a greenhouse to the outside transplant, when i take them from the green house environment its like they go into shock and die in 2 or 3 days. any ideals on how to prevent this?

i use the greenhouse to start seeds, (works much faster and better) then let them reach 6" to 8" tall, then try to move outside but they die???

RE: greenhouse to non greenhouse

I realize that this is an old post, but if you are still out there...When making the switch from GH to Outside you have to do so gradually, it is called hardening off. For example, take them from the greenhouse and move them to a shady spot outside for a couple days, then move them to a spot in partial sun/sun for a few hours a day for a couple days. They should then be well hardened off and ready to be planted in the ground.
