I heard of people using trash bags over the plants. Never done it. Seems like a lot of work to take it off and put it on every day. If you live in a humid climate I wouldn't try it. It would rot your bud and you'd have been doing all that work for nothing.

why don't you just transplant them into some sort of pot or grow bag. then you can move it to a spot that only recieves so much light in the day and shade the rest. i have a plant right now that, that very thing started to happen to it. i transplanted it into a fabric grow bag and relocated it with out checking how much light the spot recieved through out the day. well after a few days of being in this spot of only recieving around 6 hours of direct sunlight and shade the rest it started to produce female flowers. once i noticed this i moved it bc i wasn't ready to induce flowering but never the less once it was relocated to this new spot and recieved less direct sunlight it started to flower. so my answer to your question would be yes under the right circumstances.

Daylight is short enough this time of year in most places that you shouldn't need to do anything. Just let them flower naturally

your welcome joey. another thing you can do if your trying to induce flowering on a plant that you've vegged enough is like cannabineer said and make a roof for it. If the plant is in the ground and not movable. make some sort of roof that will provide shade for the plant yet is open so that the plant will still recieve plenty of air flow. This method can work, but is very labor intensive. Like i said before just transplant it into some sort of pot or grow bag, but leave in the current grow area if possible. till the plant rebounds and then move to its new grow area.
