you can take any indica and also start them 12/12 photoperiod from seed.

Its to be expected with serious space limitations like that, I think.

what would some expected yields of a plant say 1.5-2 ft high?
granted i know this varies plant to plant, strain to strain, grower to grower. the idea just popped into my head of doing some indoor cultivation. with very small plants, like described (maybe a bit bigger). but i want to know if its at all worth it, and if you introduce it to a 12/12 at around 5 inches (or less) then what can you expect for flowering time? same as regular?

Like you said, it would depend upon strains and how they are grown, but most indicas aren't going to get much taller than that. The pure indica strain my friend will be growing, Pakistan Valley, will flower for six to seven weeks, with a recommendation from the vendor that they aren't in vegetative state for more than three weeks. It doesn't list a height, but from the few grows I've found documentation for, they look like a typical indica, which, as far as I've gathered at least (not trying to sound like an expert, my friend hasn't even grown indoors yet, just putting forth what I've gathered as I've come to understand it ), usually don't exceed three feet.

I think it would be worth it if you have serious limitations on height and its the difference between growing and not growing. Otherwise I wouldn't see a reason to induce flowering when the plant is prematurely young, unless you're growing a sativa dominant strain and you don't want six feet or more indoors.

Of course, that's my opinion regarding growing from seed, because the point of a sea of green technique would be to induce flowering earlier and grow a lot of smaller plants, since it will take half as long to grow as much plant material if it is two plants instead of one. My friend wouldn't implement a sea of green, if he decides to, until he is working with clones, in which case they would be put into flowering as soon as they are rooted. I think it would be a good idea to let the plants reach maturity and complete a natural cycle in order to determine which is of the best quality before starting a sea of green. This makes sense too I think because running a sea of green from seed would mean more seeds, so unless you are already breeding, you're paying for more of some likely expensive seeds.

I don't know what the expected yields would be really, but I'd assume an ounce or two of a regular indica that tall.

Not sure what the yield would be if you were working with a hybrid and LST'ing the hell out of it to have it grow horizontally, but if there was a physical limit on the height that low, I would think that could get pretty messy to deal with.
