seedlings stopped growing after switching to 12/12 light

Hi, newbie here, a few weeks ago I switched my light schedule to 12/12 to make my mature plant bloom. There were a few seedlings in the same tent as well, and because I only got very minimum grow space, I just left these seedlings there. And now I have noticed that some of them have stopped growing completely(they look healthy though).
How could I fix this? If I put them under 18/6 schedule again will they start to grow once more?
And also other seedlings that did not stop growing began to bloom, I didn't expect that they can enter flowering stage so soon. can I revert them to veg stage by put them under 18/6 schedule again? will this affects the potency of the final product?

Yes, you can reveg them, but the amount of time it will take them to flip back into veg mode depends on how long you've been flowering them. You can actually grow directly to 12/12 from seed if you want. So, you don't have to "fix" it if you really don't want to. You can continue flowering the seedlings, but the yield will be smaller. Personally, I would just leave them in there if you have room for their roots to expand.

Thx for answering. I'm planning to grow these seedlings as mother plants for future clones. What I am most worried about right now is that will this reveg process affect the potency of future harvest? is there any research I can look up to?

No worries, they will be fine. In my experience re-vegging won't hurt at all.

To be honest I take my clones about 20 days into flower, root them and they become my next round. Never noticed any change it the product compared to when I took clones before sending them into flower.
