Default First time okra grower

I got some okra seeds from Japan and planted those in March. I kept the plants indoors under LED-lights and these started make buds even they were really tiny. Couple of weeks ago I moved them to heated area of my greenhouse. The buds started to grow, but have not opened yet. Today I noticed that one of the bigger buds had dropped and now it looks like there could be a pod forming.

Is it typical for okra to start flower when the plant is still so small?
Should I cut off the pod and buds, so that the plants would grow in size?
