Taking plants from Indoor tent to Outdoor greenhouse?

For my Indoor tent I just did a 36 hour dark period and then the plants got 12 hours of light, now they are in the beginning of 12 hours of dark. I am having my 12 hours of light during the night to keep the temp down and was wondering if it is okay to place the plants outside in a greenhouse to finish flowering? BUT since I chose to have my lights on at night, when I take the plants outside when my lights come on, outside it's dark. And if I take my plants outside when the lights turn off, outside the sun is out... Would giving the plants 24 hours of darkness or 24 hours of light mess up the flowering process? Is there any way to flower a plant outside if I've already started to flower them indoors with 12 hrs of light when it is naturally dark outside?

you can screw with lighting once or twice and be fine ..much more than that and they could hermie on you..
i would swap the 12 light hours to day time..or just leave them in the gh...good luck

Should I settle for 24 hours of dark in order to move them outside? Or 24 hours of light in order to move them outside?

Like should I bring the plants from indoor to outdoor at the end of the indoor "daylight" or at the end of the indoor "night"?

Is it better to mess up their light schedule as early in flowering as possible? Or does it not matter as long as it's only one or two times?

Thanks

id def go with 24hr of darkness to get them on track... using 24hrs of straight light would start the re-veggin process, i know its only for 24hrs but i wouldnt want it to start back for any period of time. if u give em 24hrs of darkness they wont even attempt to re-veg, it will just further guarantee that ur plants will begin flowering asap.

Ok thanks. I just recently gave them 36 hrs of darkness though, is it still okay to go ahead with the 24hrs of darkness right after doing the 36 hours darkness?

why dont you move your timers back two hours each day, then in 6 days put them outside?
