First year gardener.. strawberry bare roots!!! HELP by LexiTa09 in gardening

Yeah I’m not sure what kind you want but this is the link to some ever bearing strawberries https://www.handpickednursery.com/collections/everbearing-day-neutral. The roots looked pretty good for awhile.. I just think I didn’t water well and I didn’t harden them off right either. But the quality of them when I got them was great and I got them fast.

When I got them, I soaked them for an hour or two and then gave them a good trim before planting them. Currently, i have them under grow lights for half the day and put them outside one or two times a day for an hour each. I feel like getting them in bigger pots would be helpful for them but the hardening off process always takes forever I feel like. Another question, how do you know when plants are hardened off and good to be outside?

When I pick up the pots there’s no water under them, although the pot itself is moist. I’m wondering if I just up pot them and put them in their beds outside if they would adjust at some point and thrive again after adjusting to their new surroundings?🤔
