so i have a box for veging that will allow my babies to get about 1 ft tall and then i was gonna transfer them outside. my question is will they flower in the month of april and may?

or is there any way to create only 12 hours of sunlight outside without spending a ton ?

Yes - you have to cover the plants for a few hours in the evening.

^^confirm that, the fewer hours of light start the flowering of the females. so since the hours of light are getting more in spring, you have to adjust this manually

or you give a shit and wait till fall comes

why you don't stay indoors? this will be a pain in the ass to do and a bit risky too if you spotted wandering out every damn evening and always headed to the same location, got no neighbours to watch you?

grow em small, and cover em with a garbage can to create 12/12

Make sure you have some holes or something for venting... especially if you are in a warm climate. A dark-colored trashcan in the late day sun could get up to 90degrees inside.

The mightybudda spoke, I suggest you listen too, for he is right.

ok im just thinkin that for now ill just get like 3 compact fluors, and replace the veging lights with them. got one question though. i didnt think that the compacts at a place like home depot(hardware store) would work, but ive seen a few people have good results with them. is it ok to get somthing like that for flowering? if you have a brand that would be great!
