What I'm suggesting is after about 4 weeks from the start of flowering when buds start to form, one starts to add more day than night period. For example from 12day/12night, one adds an half-hour per day until one reaches, oh let's say, 17/5. The real question is if the plant will revert back into vegging if given more light periods gradually?
Photosynthesis is the process that turns CO2 and H20 into sugar(a higher energy molecule) using light energy.

Yes it does make sense to give the plant more light when it is flowering and this should increase the buds. More light could be by lengthening its day or increasing the lumen concentration.

It isn't ridiculous to think this, its just unfortunate that the plant will stop flowering if u increase its photoperiod.

In principle you want to increase the light to increase the sugars, to increase the growth. There are some products on the market like "Carbload" which are simple sugars that the plants can absorb through there roots and use them. It is the same principle just skippin a step. I've never used these products.
hope this helps
