no dont wrap plastic around ur plants, it'll get hot as fuck in there for them and eventually suffocate them. if u plant in a pot where you can move it around, you would have to move it into complete darkness for 12 hours. like say you put them out at 6am. then put em back in a dark place at 6pm. something like that. im transplanting a few babies around the same time (4/20) but im honestly not expecting them to even start flowering until late july. however they will be trees for sure.

I have heard the hill side an plastic on the sides kinda work if its been in flower for about a month or so before the days start getting longer in the spring. especialy if its been on a long daylight cycle before going outside.

Its feasable i think , but i would flower em as long as i could before they go out , or use pots an bring em in to keep the 12/12 going.

But i have never tried it , since no one else has answered yet i figured i tell you what i think

I have tryed something with an inside grow once I took a ww and put her under 12/12 for 3 weeks then I got this idea since when the lights are on when my leaf grows if i add 2 more hours ill get bigger buds lol.Well i cant say i got bigger buds for sure but they did take longer to mature.. I didnt notice any harm just time.. just my 2 cents:)
