Yes of course it will, generally speaking. Each strain has different traits that effect maturity rates. I would give it a few hours of indoor lighting a day, during its normal daylight hours, with the light set high away from the plants to start it off, get it used to the difference in light intensity, before just dropping it under the indoor lights.

be very careful of bringing in plants that have been outdoors especially if you have other plants inside,you might bring a bunch of unwanted pest mainly spider mites aka

Works very well , couple of months in daylight hours over 12 in the greenhouse then bring them indoors to finish , saves a bit of leccy and space in a veg box.

If they have mites outdoors they usually have predators present as well , but no garantee so worth one dose of something that works.

Catterpillers or eggs are sometimes present and worth checking for , many species are not plant specific and will lay eggs on weed , they can slowly munch their way through buds leaving a mess of frass and budrot behind them , sometimes pop out of drying buds which is a bit alarming .

If they're planted in the ground, forget it. If they're in pots, go ahead and bring em in keep em under 12/12. Check for any pests, as any surviving pests won't have any predators to face them indoors so you're gonna have to be the predator.
