Hello grower, I recently was wondering... I have some plants [freebies] that I'm growing outdoors and I was wondering if I can get them into flowering eaarly by covering it but Im not sure for how long? Do you get me? Like, I dont want to wait until october, Can flowering be done right now if I manitpulate the cannaibs hours of light by covering it? Will this work?

Yea if you want to cover/uncover them every single day at the same time, then there is the possibility of mold because airflow will be restricted when they are covered. Quality will probably be reduced because of this, as well as the lack of cooler days towards harvest since you will be looking at an end of summer harvest if you decide to go this route.
It's a lot of work to get a slightly earlier harvest. They will start flowering naturally in about a month.....

build a greenhouse. put plants in greenhouse. cover greenhouse with black plastic 12 hours after sunrise. remove cover once it is dark. repeat daily.

You'd only have to cover them for about a month and then the rest of the time the days would be short enough to keep them in flower. Like greensurfer said, flowering starts soon anyway. You have to be patient to get good yields and a mature end product.
