Yellow leaves is often a sign of over watering or poor drainage, it could also mean that the plant is ready for a bigger pot. If you re-pot your plant put some stones in the bottom of the pot, underneath the soil to help with drainage.

Yellowing is often a sign of Iron deficiency or bad pH levels in the soil. if pH is too high, plants can't take up micronutrients, one of which is iron. pH should be between 5 and 6.5 for most plants growing in a container.
What kind of soil are you using? It could be the main problem.
oh, yeah. The light cycle is probably messed up as well. 24 hour light is not natural anywhere but the poles and that's only for a few days. (look how many plants grow there!) Time your lights for a more seasonal setting.

What kind of plants are they? Maybe they need less or more sun light, a lot of plants only need a small amount of sun light while others need a lot, and some don't need hardly any light during certain seasons. You might be watering wrong, but I think it's probably the amount of light they are getting. Good luck and God bless.

Plants normally dont receive 24 hours of sunlight in nature..... you might want to cut back on the light.... also might want to look at the type of light bulb you are using, is it a grow-light light bulb, giving off essential UV light for the plant?
Depending on the plant, it might need more water, nutrients, and heat. Plants require a specific temperature range to survive in.

typically I see this problem if the plant is over watered. This generally happens to my outside potted plants in the summer after a long rain. Make sure your container has proper drainage.
