Can you take them inside for darkness?

if you are indoors you can cover or enclose them to do your 12/12. I would suggest enclosing them so you do not cause any damage.

yea im growin outdoors,.thanks tho man. Cant really bring em in, I got 12 and their pretty decent size and no indoor setup either,.could I just cover with a big garbage bag or would it hurt them that way

Yes, you can cover them with a big bag, box, etc. to induce flowering outdoors. With 12 big plants that's gonna be a pain in the ass, but good luck either way.

That's a judgment call on your part. If nothing else, you could do it simply to figure out the sex (assuming these weren't clones). I think once you've successfully induced flowering via the cover route, you can let mother nature do the rest - provided the light cycle is good enough. Sounds like it would be far enough into the season, and re-vegging wouldn't be an issue.
