Extend vegetative period

Id like to extend the vegegatative growth period of my plant, as I feel it's gotten a bit of a late start. Can three or four outdoor solar powered night lights near the plant be enough light to delay the budding of an outdoor Early Vixen?

The early in the name implies it's an auto if it is your sol.
If it's just a quick regular than yes a light on for even an hour in the middle of dark would keep it vegging.
Google gas light routine

^Exactly.

When the plants receive complete darkness, an auxin starts to build, when the night is longer(12hrs), this auxin builds to where it passes the threshold for the plants genetics to flower. So, if you were to interupt them in their complete darkness with a light on them even for 1hr during the night like mentioned above, emedietly these auxins are broken down back into the plant and it never reaches that flowering threshold that is encoded in the genetics to flower with long nights.

You will have to use a timer, or get out there every night at the same time. A light on for an hour at midnight is the easiest way to go. It makes the plant think it is two short nights and it will keep on keeping on.
