I finally got a greenhouse and now I'm scared to use it.

My growlight is in the house so my tomatoes are used to a cool temp.  Do I need to 'harden them off' when i move them to the greenhouse or do you guys think straight in would be ok?  It's about 10-20 degrees warmer inside the greenhouse than in my home.

Thx for the advice!

I moved the first of my seedlings directly to the greenhouse. They were getting leggy inside so I figured I had nothing to lose. They are doing well.

 I found a lighted tray thing that I can get cheap. Not sure if it works and has to be cleaned well before I bring it into the house, but I am going to try to bring it home this weekend. I have tomatoes growing in the greenhouse that have already flowered but not fruited yet.

I agree.  You should be fine.  Just keep an eye on the overall temp inside the greenhouse.  That would be your only concern.  Here in Texas during January, my greenhouse/potting shed can heat to over 90 degrees in no time during very sunny days even though the outside temp is in the low 60's.

they will love the warmth of your greenhouse.. so all should be fine.. I don't have any adjustments moving from my basement to the greenhouse.. except for if it is a sunny day I will adjust them slowly as it is such a difference in lighting for them..

Thanks guys!  Made the leap yesterday and I swear they grew an inch overnight.

I had my greenhouse under deciduous trees in East Texas because of the heat.  Plenty of sun in the winter and nice shade in the summer.
