Default 24 hr grow lights for seedlings?

Question: Is there a problem using 24 hr grow lights on my greenhouse seedlings. It really speeds their growth. Vague in my mind is something about what plants do in the dark, cell building of woody tissues??, that mine would be missing. Help me with the science. They are under 400 watts of sodium with some florescent , the plants are about 2 1/2 feet from the lights.
