While light actually does kinda work like that... for example more shaded plants flower sooner...
It will also be fine to do with zero issue and likely increase yield.
A single day change doesnt have the same impact as a more gradually effected change in many cases

Awesome thats what i figured, thanks alot for your knowledge and for your time

So you think it would possibly revert plant back to veg? Can you have half a plant flower and the other half not?

No but if you start giving it more hours than its used to i could see its possible if done to the extreme, for example, 1 plant flowered 4 days or so sooner then its twin and it gets half hr less direct light then other two, makes sense to me

So you think the difference of shade (1 foot) will determine a plant between flowering and vegging?

The intensity of the light versus the duration of the light is the question that you should be concerned with. Increasing the intensity for a longer period, while not increasing the duration of light should be okay. The natural light duration or total hours of continuous darkness is the greater concern to the plant in my opinion. PFR and phytochrome versus "wattage" so to speak.
You should be okay moving them. light wise anyway. Is it possible to trim a few trees or bushes to get the same desired effect and not have to uproot them though ?

Plants can "see" light even if it's not directly on them. So moving them will not affect your flowering. I would be more concerned about ripping up your roots tho.

Not in this case, but yes those are outcomes that can happen in some cases.
Btw, fuck you your being a prick

It looks like they're in pots so I don't think you would have any problems... if you're concerned about disturbing the roots coming out the bottom of the pot into the ground... you could just start by turning the pot a quarter turn a couple times a day while sliding it a few inches in the direction you want each time ... I used to only grow in pots and I would turn everything a quarter turn every day through both veg and flowerPlants are 1.5-2 weeks into bloom, can i move them 1 ft to gwt more direct light before being shaded?

I don't think so but if you're talking about digging up plants that are in the ground, there's no way I would suggest that ... even if they do survive the transplant, you would lose more yield from shock than you could ever gain from an extra hour of light
I also wouldn't be concerned with reveg either ... like ganga_gurl said, the plants can "see" light, basically, they always know what time it is

I haul my 15gal. pots from the patio out to the backyard with my wife's little red wagon every day, then move them ~15' in the late afternoon to get the most sun. In the evening I move them back to the patio where they are secured behind 2 locked gates

Only issue I can think of has already been mentioned, if the roots go into the ground under the pots. Otherwise go for it. I moved a plant around in my yard for extra light this summer, did great.

If the plant's roots stretched out of the pots and into the ground below, I wouldn't move them. Tearing that rooting doesn't seem worth it.

I know that it triggers it at different times yes. The plant beside it is the same genetics and flowered 4 or so days after and it gets more light so yes it does effect it. If you dont have anything good to say then move on.

Literally every one disagrees about shade causing a flowering problem. I'm glad you threw in "in some cases" back stepping a little bit eh?

Theres examples all over the forums of reduced lighting intensity triggering flowering.
I simply said it wont hirt him in his case, but that in some cases moving a plant WILL case a change in flower trigger times.
Maybe you dont have a ton of experience flowing outside, but some parts of my yard finish at differant times with the same strain year after year due to the light they get.
You cant try to "win" when your talking to people who know when you dont.

12 hours sun matures slower than
11 hours of sun.
That small amount of shade won't induce flowering vs him moving it 1 foot into the sun
