Hardening off before moving to the balcony

Also called

hardening off · harden off · get used to sun · acclimatize outdoors · stop hardening

Where it is

1. Bottom menu → “Plants” → tap the plant’s card → “⇄ Move” / “🪟 To the balcony” → tick “Start hardening off”
2. Progress — a card on Today

The mobile and desktop versions are the same: the app runs at growscope.uk/app/ as a single column with a bottom menu of four tabs — “Today”, “Plants”, “Tent”, “Comparison”. Settings open from the avatar at the top right; the Archive opens from “Comparison”. On a computer the only difference is that features needing the phone’s camera, motion sensor or Bluetooth should be run from a phone.

Requirements

• A plant in a tent and a balcony place

How to use it

1. Tap “🪟 To the balcony”.
2. Tick “Start hardening off — increasing time on the balcony before the permanent move” and confirm.
3. Check the hardening card on Today every day.

Result

At the end — “Hardening off complete”: the plant can stay on the balcony all day.

If you can’t see it

• To stop — “Stop hardening off” on the Today card.
• No balcony — create one in “My places”.
