Some advice needed on outdoor growing...

I dont know what to do !!!!!!

Im growing outdoors for the first time and i have 2 grows going. 5 plants are in a tent indoors, and i have 3 plants outdoors. All are grown from regular seeds and all were started in the tent mid March (8 all together).

I moved 3 plants outside last Friday (19th June) and unfortunately, 2 of them are male. They've just started to grow balls. So....

I'm thinking of replacing the 2 males with one of my plants in the tent (which is defo female).

Since last Friday, the plants in the tent have been exposed to the 12/12 cycle and the outdoor plants have been exposed to roughly 13 hrs and 20 mins of light before i put them inside my garage.

With the outdoor plants, i take them out of the garage every morning at 7am. I began putting them back in the garage at 8:25pm the day i first put them outside, and since then, they've been put back in the garage 1 minute earlier than the night before (Im trying to mimick the daily reduction of light).

So my question is this...

If i put a plant outside that has been on 12/12 for the last 10 days, will it get stunted and confused if it now gets exposed to 13+ hrs of daylight?

Many thanks in advance.

Here comes my questions..........the 12/12 plants do they have any signs of showing small tuffs of bud hairs? If they don't mine usually take 14days to begin seeing them indoors so they may of started the transition you just don't see it yet. By early aug. my outdoor start the flowering transition. You maybe safe in setting them out without them revegging? It's a chance either way??

If being in 1212 flipped it into flower mode, putting it out in 13 1/2 hours might cause a reveg. If it hasn’t gone into flower, putting it out, shouldn’t hurt it! 13 1/2 hours is kind of that borderline where some plants will start shifting into flower naturally and some won’t. I think most outdoor plants have switched into flower by then or are seriously considering it! So maybe if yours are in flower, they will stay in flower! Just two cents! around here 13 1/2 hours equates to mid to late August or maybe even early September!

Indoors i have 4 sativas and 1 indica. (The outdoor ones are indica too).
Indoors, the indica one does have a few to some white hairs at every bud site. The sativas are showing signs of white tufts too.
I think that i need to clarify something. The males outside are hermaphrodites, btw.
Also, i'm in Colorado, which is the reason i only have 3 plants outside. You're only allowed to have 3 plants flowering at the same time. But i have an asshole of a neighbour who most definitely would turn me in if she found out that i was growing more. So far i've been able to hide them from her.

Thanks for that. I didnt consider it reveging.
Ok. Indoors, the plants are in 5 gallon grow bags, and the outdoor ones are in 15 gallon grow bags.
I'd like to transplant the indica plant i have inside to outside. But it has lots of white tufts everywhere.
What would happen with this plant if it was put outside and it revegged?
I honestly dont have a clue, btw.

Could go either way at 13 1/2 hours! When you look at hours of daylight, you don’t count the twilight hours! From sun up to sundown! So you may have to reconsider your hours of daylight! For example. This is Mine. You throw out the first light and the last light and just take sun up to sundown! In my opinion, there’s a good chance it would stay in flower, but not guaranteed! And reveging can be a very time-consuming process!

I'm just gonna leave things as they are.
I dont want to take a chance on freaking out this plant. Its nearly 4ft tall and sprouting white tufts all over.
Thank you for your help/advice.
I'm sure that I'll be back for more advice in the near future. Thanks again
