Seedling help transferring outdoors

If I grow my seedlings under 18/6 until they have one or two sets of normal leaves and put them outdoors in a stealth spot where they will only get about 3 to 4 direct sunlight per day will they try to flower early or become hermies when they get bigger? Or should I just start the rest of my seedlings outdoors, they haven’t come through the soil yet except for one.

Don't put them in direct sunlight for at least a week
It is called hardening them off
Then bring on the sun

I’ll definitely harden them off but I was worried because I know when they get older under a grow light under 18 hours of light then get moved outdoors where there is less sun they tend to kick into flowering.

I planted some clones that were grown in 18/6 outdoors 2 weeks ago in Western MA and they seem to be doing fine, no sign of flowers...
