Am I causing my plant unneeded stress with this lightning pattern?

Well I suppose, if you know the sex and strain... start it. Are you wanting it to finish indoors. If you start the plant on a 12/12 light cycle from clone it will start flowering. If its from seed it is most likely not be enough light. If it is enough light it'll force sex and start to flower. Just depends..

Out of curiosity.. what light schedule is the lil one on..? And is it from seed or clone?

I do not want to finish it indoors. I plan on moving it outdoors in a transportable pot and have it flowering/budding relatively soon this way it's kept low key. I'm looking to produce a low yield, around 50 grams or so, maybe even a little less. I know it's a sativa strain therefore it grows tall, so I'm wondering at what height I should start the flowering process, or if I should try to prune it a little bit to force it to grow low if at all possible.

Am I correct in saying that the intensity of light, during the flowering phase doesn't necessarily directly correlate to how much the plant produces in the end as long as it gets 12 hours of complete darkness, but it does however, correlate to how potent it becomes?
