Amount of sunlight related to flowering time?

hey guys i want to have an early harvest this year (early sept) and was wondering:
if i have an early strain (early misty), and live in norcal and my plants will get about 10 hours of direct sunlight on a hill facing southeast, if i move them to a shady area when i want to make them flower, will this make them:
1. stretch?
2. continue veg?
or 3. start flowering?

thanks

also, this is a guerilla grow so i will not be able to put bags over them or put them in greenhouses

Shade won't make them flower earlier. It has be a lot darker than that.

try puting a trash bag over them for 12 hours then take it off, but if your plants are far away this would be quite a hastle.

lol putting them in the shade would 1.) strech them 2.) continue to veg 3.) not start flowering

You have to think about your questions through a mother nature style. There are days where its cloudy, and not much sunlight, but plants dont flower because of that yakno?

Deffently dont do it, that would just decrease yeild,potency, etc... More sun the better, but I think early mistys should give you a decently early harvest. More sunlight the better, in terms of early harvest.
