I am not sure how much luck you will have timelapsing it if you keep switching from bright natural light to dark artificial light. When you sequence those pictures to, say, 16 or so frames per second, the dark scenes will do more to throw the viewer off, than anything. You will get an almost strobe effect to the video.
If you plan to do this 24/7, I would suggest artificially lighting the plants for the full duration of their growth so there is more continuity from one frame to the next, or to just take pictures during the day, and omit the dark pictures all together.
To get a camera that will work well with the lights, you will find in the camera specifications it's "Lux" value. Which is the minimum amount of light that it can still take a quality picture. Something as low as 1 Lux will do amazingly well with very little light, but something with a 3 or higher Lux value may not work as well.
