Should I leave an autoflowering strain under 24/7 light even after it starts flowering?

Most auto strains I've come across call for 20/4 but I was looking at one strain from a breeder that recommended 16/8 for one particular strain.

Interesting... I have a green-o-matic from greenhouse seeds I've kept under light that's on 24/7 and it started to flower about 2 and a half weeks after germ...

20/4 and 18/6 is the best for auto's. All plants need some night time.

4 -6 hours of darkness is best for autos.

You mean 24/0, 24 hours of light, zero darkness. Studies have shown that autos do best at either 20/4 or 24/0. I go 20/4 to save the bulb a few hours a day. Works 4 me, BigSteve.
