Thank you GG
Two to 3 hours of light in the patio is not enough. Mine get 16 hours under FL.

If your weather is nice and worm (60F ++) , you can introduce your seedlings to sun, outside. But do it gradually. Even in defused light in a bright day outside, they will get as much light as under artificial light. Some breeze can be also beneficial to strengthen the stems.
