Potting on and hardening up?

Im not an expert,  but if they were my plants, I'd "harden them off" for at least a week or ten days as a minimum.  A week longer on top wouldn't hurt..

If anything it reduces the stress on the plant, while maintaining a good growth rate, which is the whole idea of it.

After that period of time I would have no hesistation at all, to planting into an unheated greenhouse.  They are quite a few degrees warmer at night than the outside, an at this time of year that counts for alot..

Also, these will be going into an unheated greenhouse on the plot, they will not be planted outside.

I wouldn't bother trying to harden them off unless you deliberately want to slow down their growth rate for some reason?

My greenhouse shares the garden with 2 dogs who are far from smart, so was wondering if I open both the doors to allow for major circulation would this be enough for hardening up purposes or do I literally need to get them out of the unheated greenhouse completely?

If the plants are going to be grown outdoors, then you should find ways to protect them from your dogs and start to harden them outside (put on a table/barricade/do not leave the dogs unattended ... whatever you need to do  )  The plants will still be in a warm protected environment inside a greenhouse, so they will still grow soft and a bit sappy in the stem

I'm intrigued by the "unheated greenhouse" in both posts - at this time of year, the sun's strength heats up a greenhouse quite a lot, if anything, you might have to consider ways to "cool" it down such as ventilation or shading.  I lost a whole batch of sweet peppers & chillies exactly a year ago due to ultra strong sunlight and overheating about this time of year (my own fault - I'd closed the door overnight, but forgot to open up the next morning)!!!

Hi paintedlady, I mentioned the 'unheated' greenhouse because the plants are going to go from a nicely pampered environment (the conservatory window sill) into the greenhouse which will be colder at night and hotter during sunny days. Just making sure they will survive without hardening them up?

Thanks for the info paintedlady, I think it is time to free up some room indoors and get them into the greenhouse.
