Any tips on getting my plants outside in the spring with as little stress as possible as i plan on putting some money into genetics. Thank you for any input

-I am very interested in trying some bending this year is giving them a jumpstart of a month or so going to cause any growth issues?
Id get them outside here an there to get them used to the Sun. I would let them get about 2' tall too. Then, when you are ready to get them in the ground, id plant half of the plant deep into the ground with a bag of soil in first. This is my plan, so i hope it helps. Iv found the deeper you can plant them, the faster they adjust to the outdoor environment, also leaves at the nodes turn into more roots, which makes the plant develop faster IMO:rasta:
