Max hours? Dli?

Hello!
I saw a video of how these plants can help control pests in a grow room, Is that accurate? How many hours is too much daily? I keep my grow lights on 22 hours a day, Any dli reference? that makes it simpler. Whats a good place a get a strong starter plant I wont need to repot.
 
They aren't particularly good for pest control. Drosera and pings can capture fungus gnats and potentially manage their populations. However if you're talking about pests like aphids, scale, and thrips carnivorous plants are just as vulnerable to those as any other plant and will not be any help in controlling them.
