Be careful with that. Even with sunshine coming through a window and additional light coming from your grow lights cannot compare to what the sun makes. Sometimes it's best to put them in dappled sunlight rather than full sunlight for a few days before exposing them to full sun. This process is known as 'hardening off' the seedlings. A huge increase of light can cook the little guys. And any seedling going from any indoor situation to outdoors is going to experience exactly that.
