Sun and light bulb question

My clones just took root and I wanted to start a 16/8 (7am to 11 pm) schedule and use the sun while it's still nice out. Would it hurt if I brought the clones outside (at 7am) from darkness then because the day is only 13h and 6m bring them inside (6pm) and put them under the light for the last 5 hours (till 11pm). Then eventually they will be under full light.

Sure you'll be fine as long as you are as reliable as a timer. The plants don't care where the light comes from just as long as it mimics Mother Nature! The sun doesn't come up at 7 and set at 11 then the next day rise at 7 and set at midnight.
