Can i go back to natural light cycle to carry on flowering?

First of all, I live in the uk and am growing an ak48 in the greenhouse. I managed to induce flowering by giving it 36hrs darkness and everyday since then i have been taking it inside every night on a 12/12 cycle . It has now shown its first pistols but I am wondering if it will continue to flower if i just leave it in the greenhouse because it is a nightmare taking it inside every night and i may not always be at home. At the moment it gets properly dark at 9 and light at 6 or 7. There's a pic of my baby below.

cheers!

I would have used the green house all the time personally, and let it mature naturally. The greenhouse has 24 hour lighting? If not just leave it there, it will be fine.

The hours of light a day need to keep it in flower will depend on the strain. Im not sure about AK48 (or 47). Also, Id transplant to the pot you have right next to it. The plant will thank you for it lol

so you guys think I can just leave it in the greenhouse? I am really worried that it will be affected by the changing light cycles and stop flowering- what do you think??

Also, i did actually move the plant into that bigger pot yesterday. Which makes moving it inside a bit of a struggle!!

I am doing the same thing but with heavy duty black garbage bags. I only put them on for a couple hours then take them off once it is dark. I missed a couple of days here and there and doesnt seem to be a problem. If there is shadier or darker area in the greenhouse that will help too. I have all the same strain and the plants that got shade a bit earlier in the evening started flowering sooner. I am only doing the garbage bag thing on a couple of the runts.

so you just rest the garbage bags over the top of the plants? i guess they are so light, it wouldnt damage them right? Even though they dont stop all light coming through, it's better than taking them inside.
