pruning-topping Should i be removing these?

My plants are probably still 2 weeks out from being outdoors. Do I want to pick these little buds off?

if it's your personal preference, you can do so. those who do are trying to "force" the plant to focus its resources to growing limbs and roots versus nurturing the flowers and fruiting.

but you can also just let nature take its course. often, many early buds/flowers will naturally drop themselves anyways, as the plant is also taking the course of action to try to grow itself more.

however, if the plant has "maxed out" on root space in its pot, then it will definitely be trying to flower/fruit because it cannot grow out much more and wants to reproduce.

It is transplanted in its final 5 gallon container so not sure if it is maxed out on growing. Thank you for the reply, I suppose I will let nature run its course.

As soon as it gets old enough to hold fruits, you will be happy
