Most plants that require a dark period need it for flower stimulation. Ie. Morning glory, hibiscus , cannabis these plants are stimulated buy dark to produce flowers not to grow. I have grown a pink wisteria ( robina) tree for 1 year in my house to put it out side the following spring in one year of 24 hour light(t5) the tree grew over 3' tall I can garentee that would never have happened outdoors with a dark period
