Yeah 12/12 for veg is not a good idea, possible, but not good.
If people seeing your lights on while you not home is you problem you should hang some blankets over you windows or something to make it light proof, Then run like an 18/6 or a 20/4, something with alot more light time. This will maximize you babies potential.
