What happens if you put a plant into flowering stage and then increase the light?

I have a couple of plants in front of a window and would like to put them into the flowering stage in a couple of weeks by blocking the light to 12/12. What happens if you get a plant into the flowering stage and then go back to a longer period of light exposure afterwards? Do they explode or die or something? Or will they just go ahead and flower? (These are not autoflowering plants)

They may hermie-- and if so-get seeded, fluffy and less potent.
HOWEVER: Since it is almost the season for them to bloom (IF in the N. Hemesphere) you could force them into 12/12 then put them back in the window in mid-August---
keep in mind tho--
ANY extra light, streetlights, TV etc. will throw them off a bit.
And many plants do not fo well with just 'window light" you may need to suppliment during the day with a 100W cfl.... JMO ;) Good Luck!

They can do some crazy shit, grow in spirals, grow deformed, or do nothing at all. Once i had one that went all retarded started noding everywhere I was damn certain it would hermie but it didn't I got so much off that damn plant I wish I could duplicate the effect.
