my bro is on 12 12 at the mo with a few 23 watt cfl's and then a 125 watt 1 as well. all i have are 2 23 watt bulbs. i'm going outside with them once they're strong so i want 2 grow them well. can i put my newly sprouting seeds under my brothers lights or will the increase in light when they go outside mess them up?

if they are sprouts you need to give em atlest 16-24 hours of light. 12/12 if for flowering em not vegging em

i have them on 16 - 8 at the moment but my brother has a much more powerful set up than me , about 6 times more lumens. i know full well that 12 12 is for flowering but would they grow better with 12 12 and better lights or with 16 8 and shitty lights

just get em outside or put them on a windowsil for the time being

plus if your brother is 12/12 meaning he is flowering, meaning he is using a different light spectrum which is not good for vegging anyway, so i would advise you not to bother

more light the better. cant you stick yours in with his for the 12 hours (maybe with your lights in there as well), then use either yours, or the sun for the remaining 6 hours...
