Cold night time temps!

[SmokeyTheGrower]

Hey!
I have to plant some of my 30 day old plants outside, but for a week the night time temperatures will go down to 4-5C or 41F for a couple hours in the early morning.Will this kill them?

Wait...your night time temps are dropping to 41f? No further?

I'd try to harden them off a little before the final move but yes, they should survive if they're a good 30 days old. Mine have been out in 33+ temps under shelter for almost two weeks now? They're not liking it much but they'll recover.

Yes, harden them off and they will survive. They will probably grow slowly while adapting to the cool early morning temperatures. Eventually they could become so used to outdoor temperatures that in the fall they can handle temperatures down into the mid 20s F. and even if they are covered with an inch or two of snow.
