I am wondering if planting an auto in a solo cup will induce flowering even sooner than an auto would normally flower? If not, how would I induce early flower with an auto. Would 12/12 do it or would it re-veg and stunt growth?

Light cycle does not affect when an auto flowers.
It is a combination of things, but the majority is genetics. You might speedup a day or two with a long light cycle, and root restriction will cause a slightly earlier flowering, but will result in a hard to manage (feeding) small plant. the seeds have been breed to go into flower somewhere in the 30 to 45 day range (strain dependent)
About 60 to 65 days from sprout is about as fast as I've seen a strain finish.

Thanks! I wanted to do a couple real tiny girls real quick. But if its not much quicker I may as well just continue on as usual
I've grown a couple of same strain bonsai in addition to my main grow as I couldn't bring myself to bin them....
At day 49 and 2ish weeks ahead of their bigger sisters! An early smoke will be a bonus!

How tall did they get and what did you do to keep em small?
About 14" and did nothing to keep them small - the pot size and as a consequence the size of their root mass pretty much dictated the structure - fighting for light with their bigger sibblings has probably affected height.

Here is my McDonald's cup grow(in the micro grow section) I say it all depends on the cup size.
CDLC Day 41 and Auto Pk Day 31
CDLC was train to stay short, auto Pk will grow straight up.

I must confess that this is the first time I've grown in such small pots. In saying that the obvious benchmark I have is right here in the same tent:
