Light pollution and planting in spring.

So I recently put one of my plants outside they were at 12:12 inside from 8 AM to 8 PM currently the sun outside rises around 7 AM and sets around 7
I have two questions
1. Will light pollution from the moon affect its flowering?
I’ve been covering it up with a plastic tote around 7:30 and but I know I won’t be able to do that for long.
2. Could I just leave it out there and let it adjust to the new light schedule since it’s still around the same amount of dark?
I assume since it’s feb the days will start getting longer. So that would stresss it or even reveg it but it should be done flowering by April 20ish

It will reveg no matter what outside. Its going to adapt to the new environment and reveg and flower later in the year when its time. The moonlight shouldnt affect it too much if any.

Ignore I leave it out right? What if I bring it in for twelve hours of darkness every night or will the sun still affect it

Where,in a round abouts way, are you doing it? Weather dependent it's completely do-able with light dep. Indoors I've flowered them at twelve/twelve then pushed them up to 13 on 11off with no re-vegging. Then brought them back to 12/12 the last few weeks to finish them. So little bumps in daylight length won't throw them out of whack.
Get a bigger cover for it and try light deprivation stuff. People do it all the time.

If you leave her outside ,the plant will adapt to the "spring" environment as the days get longer, by the time april is here your plant will start to reveg.
Cool that's what I figured she's in a 3 gallon fabric pot so I can easily move her but so far I found this huge box I put her in at night then cover with a blanket so no light gets in for 12 hours a night but idk how long that would work for

Already on it getting two plastic totes and installing a small computer fan on it to vent the humidity. Itll be fairly cool at night for the next two months but I just have to keep and eye on the humidity.

Think it will revert, moon not bright enough light, reflective light not source light. Suppose you could keep her dark for couple of days then put out but days are getting longer and they know it. June 20 it changes and days shorten, that's why can't put out too early without gaslight g them.
