Is it possible to lst an indica plant that you grow 12/12 from start? or would it not really work out well?

yes its possible, good idea.... in my opinion not really just let the plant do what it wants when your starting from 12/12 the plant shouldnt get that tall nor the bush just a short stalk with a huge bud. again this is only my opinion not fact.

I would have to say it is fact more less, when you grow a plant 12/12 right away from seed or clone it is going to be around 1 ft tall at best with the main cola and just a few other tiny buds in a typical indoor growing setup, lst makes absolutely no sense in this scenario. I also strongly advise against going 12/12 right away unless you have 100's of plants with only one or few lights and your using very small containers or growing on a bed or hydroponically.(or in the case you are severely limited by vertical space)

I am doing 12/12 because I am growing in a closet that's 5'long x 3.5deep x 5' tall. I thought LST with 12/12 might produce more. Also I am using 4' T8 ballasts, so I need to keep everything around the same height. Should I just LST and not do 12/12?

Yes you should absolutely LST. LST is just fine for flowering after all it is LOW STRESS training. LST is always beneficial no matter what size the plant and I consider it to be mandatory if your flowering under smaller lights with less penetration like CFLs (or in your case T8's). I LST all my plants even my bonsais that go 12/12 from small clones, they end up looking like a little round ball of bud when finished.
