There is a 12-1 army of cannabis growers, this method is standard in Ag Industry. So no you're not crazy, it's well tested and works. You almost save 50% in lighting cost over a 24 hour veg cycle. The 1 hr cycle in the middle of the dark period prevents the plant from flowering, no magic. As far as bloom nutrient I've used them for veg no problem. Good luck on your grow.
