Help please! Have I screwed up my entire grow?! Question about lighting

Okay I started my plants about a week and half ago. They
are looking great and are under 2 T12's vegetating on 24
hour cycle.

My plans were to vegetate indoors until mid april and then
put them in the ground. At that time i'll be getting 14 hours
of daylight. I had an idea to keep them on 24/0 for about
another 2 weeks or so then ween them down to the same
sunlight hours outdoors slowly.

The problem is no matter where I read people keep sayin
it pretty much cant be done without them going into flower
right off the bat!? I read one place and someone says if you
ween them slowly it will work, and others saying if you put
them on 12/12 and then put them outdoors that as the time
increases they will revegetate.

I'm pissed that I have this setup going and put labor into
all that digging and now things might not workout. Could
someone with experience or more knowledge on this
please help me out here? I have to get this figured out.
Thank you!

take a clipping off one of your plants and try it now.

I have had it happen with some of mine when taking from indoors under 24 hour light, they start flowering soon after being put out. I have also done it and they adjusted and grew full through the summer as I wanted. Maybe strain related? I have multiple strains and never really paid attention to which ones did, and actually liked it happening to a few for an early and late harvest.

Now that I think about it last year I started a skunk plant
indoors in march and vegetated it till april. Put it on 12/12
for two weeks and used a 100x magnifyer to find the sex,
sure enough it was a female.

I then put it in a three gallon container and put it outside
around april 20th and I guess it revegitated? It showed the
pistols all summer long and started actual flowering and
producing buds when all the rest of them did in late august.
That plant was a monster to be in a three gallon container,
it yielded the most resinous buds of any other I had outdoor
and I got right at 3 1/2 ouces off of it.

So i've researched a bit more here and there after I posted
this and I found alot of peopke saying and most of them being
vets, that if you reveg a plant that in the end its a larger,
higher yeilding plant.. So it makes me wonder, so what if
it revegitates? By the time I put it out I will be getting 14 hrs
daylight and each day the day gets longer. Is it even possible
that it could fully flower without re-vegetating?

So I wonder now if I should put them in 12/12 a few weeks
before I stick em in the ground and the plus would be a larger
yeild/plant and i'd also know the sex of em. What do you think?

It will probably got into flower then reveg. If it survives just watch it for hermies. Plants that go from Veg to Flower To veg tend to hermie do to stress. Not all, but a lot do....

What do you mean "if it survives"? Has anyone done
this method before and not ended up with a hermie?
I think that most of these books and info we find go a
little far saying you cant do this and cant do that. Like
last year I only checked my girls during the midnight hour
using a bright LED light and spent at least 20 mins at each
spot, about once a week from april till october and I never
once had a hermie. Same with this method, how many
people have actually ended up with a herm?

Just because it can happen doesn't mean it will. I think its less
likely to happen than more likely happen. Just my opinion.

Yes I have ended up with hermis after reveging. I tried it a few times, the ones that did not just bud but reveged turned hermi allot. It did not happen all the time but about 70 to 80%. Could have been strain traits or just the way it worked for me.

If you are so set on it man, then just do it. Asking us about it is pointless when you are so set on something to begin with. Good Luck...
