Flowering early outdoors

Hello all,
So I have a greenhouse, and I vegged indoors under a T5 during winter and put them in the greenhouse on
February 6th. The plants look incredible (my best yet), and i am starting to worry about the longer days as they get closer to finishing up. I plan on chopping in 2 weeks, and the days are currently 12.5 hours, and am worried about them reverting to veg at the most crucial time. I can build something in the greenhouse to cover them at 12 hours of light, but would be a royal pain to cover at 12 hours, then uncover later to make sure they are not light deprived in the morning. I only know indoor growers and they have all said it wouldnt work, but they also said that about my winter crop in the greenhouse that turned out well. Any input is appreciated, especially from someone who has tried the spring harvest before. My location is california. Help save my medicine!

Thanks in advance

a plant will not revert to veg untill the days hit arround 15hrs light....there are web sits that say when sunrise and set are so hit em up.... i like the winter greenhouse idea. way to think outside the box and avoid getting CAMPed on. hope it all work out there farmer! good luck....if the sun fucks you cover em /w a black tarp to replicate the 12/12..way easy compared to building who knowz what...

Don't worry your fine with only 2 weeks left. I put my spring harvest out around mid march every year and they do well every year even thou the day light is getting longer. I have 8-9 week strains.

How thick must the black tarp be in order to totally block out the light? 10ml, 15 mil? I want to start the 12/12 cycle in August and it is not even close to 12/12 naturally. Thanks if you can help. If not, hope your crop was great.

What strain can you harvest that fast? I need plants that can do that. Good Luck

They wont re veg don't worry, not this late into fall. It doesn't have to be 12/12 for most plants to start flowering outdoors. Mine started around 13/11 and from now on you will be losing about 2 mins a day of light. I wouldn't even use a black tarp with your green house.
