Seedling help transferring outdoors

[Inthehillsgrower420]

If I grow my seedlings under 18/6 until they have one or two sets of normal leaves and put them outdoors in a stealth spot where they will only get about 3 to 4 direct sunlight per day will they try to flower early or become hermies when they get bigger? Or should I just start the rest of my seedlings outdoors, they haven’t come through the soil yet except for one.

Don't put them in direct sunlight for at least a week
It is called hardening them off
Then bring on the sun

I’ll definitely harden them off but I was worried because I know when they get older under a grow light under 18 hours of light then get moved outdoors where there is less sun they tend to kick into flowering.

They won't flower until they get about 12 hours of light or less. Sometimes 13ish.

Oh ok I wasn’t thinking about that but where I am it’s cloudy and rains a lot would that mess with the light cycle or will the light through the clouds on rainy and cloudy days be enough for the plant to realize it’s getting more than 12 hours of light

I planted some clones that were grown in 18/6 outdoors 2 weeks ago in Western MA and they seem to be doing fine, no sign of flowers...
