Trying new growing techniques

Lately it has happened to me that the hours of sunlight are so many that plants grow more than expected and this is not something I want to happen.
I have decided to try new techniques and one of them is to hide the plants from sunlight to force them to produce buds.

It might work as it might it's not all trial and error but I'll give it at least a week or two to see what happens.
In another place, the plant in my backyard is getting bigger every day and the branches don't stop growing either.
