does MJ need a rest from 24hr light exposure?

so i got a nice little plant going getting ready for the warm weather in NY.
during sunny days where it is above 50F i let it sit in the direct sun all day and than at sun down move it to florescent lighting(made for plats)
it is growing really really fast so that's great and it seems to be healthy but my question today is
it seems VERY unnatural for a plant to be under a light 24 hours a day.
do plants need a rest from time to time?
my plan was to keep it in vegetative growth until the weather turned nicer and i can put it in its outside home.

Rest from what? Manna from heaven, that is all she thinks.. That sun reflector though is like those people used in the 60's or something.

its sitting on a lawn chair so the rabbits and what not leave it be.
what reflector?
it just seems like the plat would need a rest from constant growth, but this is my second serious attempt at growing a good plant so ill just keep it on 24hr's of light until it goes outside to its forever home.
I'm just worried that once it goes into a natural light cycle it might damage it somehow.

24hr light is essentially a waste. stick to 18 or 20 hrs and allow your plants some darkness for root strength.

yeah i found 1 seed in some super good bud and planted it
there was 1 seed in a 1/2lb.
its more a fun plant project than anything, and i will get a yield just don't know how big.
next week I'm transferring it to its on area in the garden so the roots can have all the room they need
