growing Outdoor in Costa Rica

you may veg them as long as you want indoors if your hours are always perpetually 12/12, and as long as there mature they should flower fairly soon when you put them out,

Incorrect. 12/12 light schedule will make cannabis plants switch to flowering mode and is not appropriate for vegging. For that, you want at least 18 hours per day of light.
