Flowering under the sun

my lights keep falling, and almost killing my plant, so I was wondering if I move it outside will it flower? 13/11 is the light schedule outside here, but I found this awesome website to find out the sunrise/sunset times all over the world. Called gaisma.com, it's actually pretty badass because it lets you know dawn, and dusk times too. But will it flower under 13/11, or will I have to cover it up an hour of every day? I think it will still flower, but I'm not sure so I thought I would ask.

OH GOD!!!, Well I moved her outside, and I think the heat is stressing her bad, will she adjust to the sun, or will she die out there? I mean the top of the plant is all leaning over, and the leaves are just like curling around. I think it's just a jump in climate for her. It's hot outside like maybe 100 degrees, She was at 84 inside, and was doing great. I watered her, and I hope she adjusts and looks better by tomorrow, but if she doesn't I might have to move her back in. Any advise?

She is just adjusting to the heat. Mist her with pH'ed water in a spray bottle every now and then and maybe put her in shade for an hour or two everyday and she will adjust very quickly

dont mist those plants in the sun it will clog and burn the leaves. you do that at night.
mabee leave it at the edge of the sun/shade it will still get plenty of light

Thank you for your advise, I watered her with molasses, and a weak organic kelp/grass/leaves tea. Thought it might relieve some stress. I moved her in the shade when I saw she was really stressed, but now she's getting full sun again, I thought that way she'd adjust to the temp before the big bright sun killed her. She's still adjusting, but after I watered her and gave her a stick for support (she was leaning towards the sun.) She seems to be doing a little better now, I hope she will be ready for full sun all day tomorrow, but if she still looks stressed out I'll give her a few hours of shade tomorrow too. Again thank you all for your suggestions.

6.8, I always check the PH, because I have these pool test strips, and they work pretty good, but they also like check to see if there's clorene in the water, which their wasn't, I Also took cold plain water (7.0 PH), and rubbed it on some leaves to cool it down without leaving little drops of water on it that could magnify the sun and burn her.

well just a suggestion but if your using nutes you should be worried about it. a liquid one is better and is only 8 bucks.
but just my thoughts, do as you wish

Shade will help but your real concern needs to be the soil. 100 degrees is in the shade. Anything getting direct sunlight is more like 110 and up. Your soil is getting much hotter than 100. I had the same problem here when it got to 106 for a week. I fixed it by wrapping my pot with white paper. Just tape it on to the outside of the pot. I use computer paper. Next put mulch around the base of your baby so it keeps the sun off the soil. This will also help the soil from drying out too fast. As an extra measure I put the original pot in a bigger one and put mulch between them. It acts like insulation.

Weeds can take 100 degree days. They do it all the time, but the roots can't.

I don't know she's really ugly right now, her leaves are all folded, because of stress, but she's going to stay outside, because I would rather her be ugly, then her be dead. If I could make these lights stop falling I wouldn't have this problem, but I cant so she's gonna have to live with the outside. I will water her every 2 days (if dry) and I guess I'll try wrapping her pot in white paper, and put some mulch on top of the soil, because all week it's been 100-104 during the day and like 70 at night, so I think the night should help her relax. Again thank all of you.

You have to keep them in shade till the get used to the light. Sun is way stronger than any indorr set up. I put mine out all the time because I live in Canada with a short season I start them inside and ten put them out. It will ajust quick and be just fine . Don't worry just let it ajust slowly. You'll get a lot more product outside anyway.

I've been watering when dry, I just figured ever other day, but I already watered it today, even though she looks really stressed, she got like a hole day of shade today, and it's much cooler out today. But all her leaves have turned brown from the heat stress, but I'm hopeing she'll pull through.
