Flower buds on seedlings under grow light

Yak54 · June 5, 2013

My pepper seedlings are still under the grow light. I have two varieties, Tolli's Sweet, and Chervena Chuska. I am about to start the hardening off process to prepare them for the garden in 5 or 6 days from now. I know it is suggested on Tomato seedlings to remove any flowers or set fruit before planting. On a few of my pepper seedlings, buds are forming at the top of the plant. My question is should I remove them before putting them in the ground like I would on Tomato's, or NOT ? It is 8 wks. today since I started the seeds.
