Josh:

Two things that come to mind with 24 hour light are:

The plants are pushed for growth at the expense of developing root and bulb mass.  Something like a nursery that pushes fertilizer to get growth at the expense of having a plant with a balanced root to stem ratio.

Plants respire or grow at night  ( I think ) and use the energy produced during daylight hours to manufacture tissue.
