    I keep mine snipped off until a solid Month of being planted out. So any flowers before that are removed. Allow the plants to focus on a strong root system.

    Pluck them, force the plant to focus on growth and not production

    If you’re going for maximum production then snip them until it’s done growing.

    Personally I’m very hands off with it – if the plant thinks it’s a good time to flower I’ll let it ride. I’m not growing for profit or total self sufficiency so what I get I get and enjoy.
