Natural daylight

If I am growing outdoors, but getting about 14 hrs sun and only 10 or so of dark, should I, or would it help speed up the growing if I was to bring in the plants in the evening to keep it closer to 12/12, or is the extra 2 hrs really not worth the hassle?
The plants are about 15 weeks old, and seem overall happy.

Is this an autoflowering strain? If it isn't then I have no idea how you are flowering with 14/10.

When flowering the plant indoors, 12 hours light and 12 hours dark is the standard lighting cycle during the flowering phase. However, 14 hours light and 10 hours dark will increase flower size (larger yield) while still allowing the plant to flower. But this will lengthen the time needed to harvest the crop.
An extended period of darkness can also be substituted for the standard 12-12 cycle. 11 hours light and 13 hours dark will reduce the time needed for the crop to mature and harvest, but it will also reduce the size of the crop.

OK, thanks. I didn't know which amount of time affected the plant in which direction, or how much if noticeable. But as far as how am I doing 14/10, I have them in buckets as you can see by the pics, and they are in a centrally located area that pretty well gets morning through afternoon sun with just a little of it partially shaded, and in Ga., the sunrise here right now is about 5:30, and sunset is not until after 8:30 pm., I'm talking about enough light to walk around the yard without the aid of a flashlight.
With your info, I think I will take the medium plant and start bringing it in around 6 pm., and putting it back out around 8 or 9 in the morning.
Part;l just so I can see the difference and learn from the experiment, and also because as a first timer, I am getting really anxious

Have no idea what they are, just know the seeds came from green buds
