it will take longer because your vegetative cycle is being drawn out. MJ needs a minimum of 16-18 hours of light to make vegetative growth ideal. On 12/12 from seed your plant will take much longer to mature, as the light cycle you're using.. is mainly for flowering.

The purpose of 12/12 is to simulate the end of the season, the days getting shorter. This tells the plant it's time to seed.. or make bud. buds would turn to seed if they were pollenated.

So on 12/12 your plant will grow slowly, automatically flower.. and only grow so big.
