Outdoor lighting and flowering

I have a small outdoor grow operation in 1 and 5 gallon buckets. I live in a pretty secluded place, and have them outside near the pool area. My question is, there is a 150 watt HPS street lamp about 50 feet from my buckets, should I move the buckets when my babies start to flower or should I go ahead and do it now? Will this even affect the flowing process of 12/12? I just realized this and wasnt sure if it would harm anything. Thanks for all your input!
 
you will def. want to move them when they start to flower.
i personnally like the growth better on an 18/6 schedule during veg. so i would have moved them by now. because when its dark i want them in the dark.

when its really time for them to flower, they might not flower at all with that light on at night.

or just turn the light off and dont use it. i would be too paranoid about someone turning it on.
 
If the light is bright enough to prevent flowering then waiting for them to flower before you move them is not going to work. I would move them soon just to be on the safe side. After July i stop using a flashlight at night to work on my plants.
