I can , but dont know if it will create a big spotlight vulnerable for people to see from the street. They will be in in open field with no lights around anywhere near so it will atttract instant attention if a spotlight is seen from the road .

They will more than likely go into flower. I don't know of anywhere in the continental US that gets 16 hours of light

What i do transitioning clones or plants is like anything else its really not lights but actual climate differences training your plant for outside temps etc ..
Anyways i would drop light hrs to 18 /6 put plants outside during the day then inside at night usually garage pending on light hrs at the time they go either back under lights or just in garage .. next day same thing outside then in and so on until outside night temps are good enough not to cause to much stress or stop growth like i am presently doing now last week i decided hell leave them outside for a few nights only to see issues beginning of this week telling me the weather is still not good ..
This morning i woke up to 7" of snow lol so its back n forth

yea thats what im currently doing , moving them out and back in at night . My main concern is switching them to 18/6 and shocking them into flower.

i wouldn't worry your not going to shock them into flower with 18 hrs of lights its when you get 14 hrs and lower is when hormonal change occurs

Yea, Im just gonna go ahead and drop my lighting to 18/6, I should know the result within a week or two. Ill have to buy some extra clones and keep those 18/6 just in case my other ones flower.

Climate, It's the most important thing we as outdoor growers need to watch. Where I'm at you'll only get 6-8 weeks of veg before flower onset.
