Could you potentially induce the early flowering of an outdoor plant if you brought it indoors early every day causing it to have a 12/12 suncycle?

yeah, absolutely. you could also just cover it so that you didn't have to bring it inside.

Yes.
You can basically do it even outside if you cover a branch with a garbage bag for example and introduce it to a 12/12 cycle it will eventually flower if it is mature.

Is it true that once the flowering cycle has reached a certain stage it is irreversable and therefore you no longer need to cover the plant for 12 hrs? I've heard this applies after about 4 weeks of flowering.

Nope..that may result in a hermi..or a very stressed plant..But yeah artificially chaning the light cycle works..I heard of a guy that did a stealth,garbage can,SCROG...he just covered the garbage can when it was time..and sure enough it started flowering..

I know a guy who has automated his depo with battery-powered water timers--first one opens and fills a 5-gal bucket and the weight pulls a black plastic covered frame over his cold frame..the buckets have small holes in them so they will drain out over the 12 hrs...then 12 hrs later another timer fills another bucket which pulls the cover off...works great...he had to mess with it awhile to get it right but it's slick now...
