Can car headlights interfere with flowering?

Hi guys I have a bit of a concern. I live on 10 acres a land but we have firefighter who rents our machine shop. Well sometimes he has trucks and cars driving around in the back. Not very often though only happens randomly and not very often and certainly not every night. My greenhouse is on the far side but people can enter the road from both directions. My concern is when my plants start flowering outside the randam cars and truck headlights might revert my plants back to vegetative growth. Will occasional Headlights trigger vegetative growth? And if they do how do I protect my plants from this? They're gonna be outdoors plants and they were grown from seed. Some people say seeds aren't as sensitive as clones?

I’m getting the vibes that your smoking some really good shit,can you tell us what it is,thanks in advance
Well I hope to get some very dank weed this fall but right now I'm stuck with crappy old dispensary weed from oregon. One of the reasons I was so determined to grow this year so can finally smoke some dank haha! The problem i'm having here in dispensaries is it's hard to find heavy hitter sedating strains! I'm growing 12 plants with two med patients. 2 Kosher Kush, 2 Afghan Kush, 2 space queen, 2 purple kush, 2 train wrecks, 2 herijuana! I'm growing in Southern Oregon.

Unless they park and aim the headlights directly on the plants for hours at a time during the night I wouldn't worry about it. Plants grow fine under the moonlight so a random car headlight isn't going to do anything.

Thanks fir the info man I was really stressing about this! I was thinking of wrapping some of that black fabric down low on the green house to maybe stop the headlights. It really rarely ever happens. Most of the his workers leave before dark. I just was paranoid even light for a few minutes would trigger to stop flowering. My only other worry is im hoping I got good genetics buying from cali seed bank known as Pacific Seed Bank and Growers choice seeds. I just really didn't want customs confiscating my seeds from UK seed banks. I feel cali made quite few stable strains so I figured it would be ok to buy from them.

I would still consider that black fabric.
If a beam of light shines directly on the plant it will set the plant backward a few hours. When that happens I try to elongate my night by a few hours. For example i give them 15 hrs of darkness instead of 12. It actually even seems to boost flowering a little when done once in a while.
