I take all buds and blossoms off my indet and det seedlings after hardening them off and setting them outside at 6-9 inches.

The blossom cycle is abuot two weeks so I would not see blossoms again until then.

In the intervening time all energy produced from the plants will go into developing stems and foliage and a better root system, the vegetative cycle, instead of energy being shunted to the sexual cycle of blossoms and fruit set.

Same for me. Once they are transplanted to their final growing place, any blooms and/or fruit that develop are left on the plant.
