seed crops and light cycles and light stress

i am currently 5 weeks into flowering (12/12) on a seed crop. all of the females are fully pollenated and developing well. the males have been chopped and the pollen has been collected and stored. everything was going good until i got the dreaded phone call that all growers (who rent) fear. my land lord is stopping by sometime this weekend...

so i broke down that op and brought all of the plants to my other house and grow room. my problem is that my other room (which is not a seed production room) is on week 4 of an 8 week veg, with a light cycle of 18/6.

my question is at this point in maturity will a fully pollenated female try to abort and reveg? or will it finish its life cycle and produce viable seeds?

I assuming that the answer is "it depends on the genetics"

I guess im just wondering if anyones ever expierienced or dabbled with this type of light manipulation. im probably gonna rebuild the room i broke down some time next week when i have the time. but i was thinking of just letting them finish in the veg room they are currently in, as i dont have very much time these days.

a friend of mine regularly switches his bud production room back to 18/6 during flush so he can fill the allys in between his rows with vegging plants for his next run. it buys him an extra 10 days of veg and doesnt seem to have any ill effect on his buds which continue to mature until the end. its not seed production and its 9 weeks into a 10 week cycle so that doesn't really pertain to my situation.

Let me know what you think.

dude i would say.. fuck if possible toss them outside to finish producin seed.. if not.. honestly... i had a veg plant.. that was preflowering.. and produced seed wen pollen was put on the pistils!!!! so i will guess u should be fine with them indoors if u cannot put outside to finish!

Might be a dumb suggestion but people do 12/12 from seed all the time so why not just flower them all out now, better then losing them I Would think. Possibly pull some clones and keep them under cfls for later use. Just a thought.
