"tried 12/12"
for how long? unless it was 3weeks or more you may not have seen much of a difference in behaviour. and if it did have an unseen impact, and you switch out of 12/12 you are going to get a re-vege with that plant. it's going to got dorman for a second or 3, then growth will go nuts all over.
so, you can assume this is not an autoflower. you'll now want to let it revege, get back to normal growth, then go back to 12/12. this thing is unlike the right size for the light you bought, given 4 months of growth. so pruning it back may be needed, and with a revege you'll want to thin it out at the least.
things don't happen overnight, but 1 night of 12 hours then switching away from it can be an issue. you don't want it all confused goign into bloom by sending it directly back to 12/12. get fucked up growth that's difficult to control or cause it to hermie like crazy. give it a second and see if it re-veges, then do waht you gotta do. resize it to fit light and 8-10 weeks of flower.
