Flower buds forming on tomato seedlings, advice needed!

SharonRossy · May 2, 2015

So I dropped seeds on April 1st and by April 8th everything germinated. I potted up around April 15th. They are under T5 lights 18 hours a day and I have a small fan running. Today I noticed that several of my plants have flower buds forming. I believe this is a reaction to some type of stress but I don't know. My plant out date is not before the 20th of May, if then. Many of my seedlings are 4" and quite stocky and all are very healthy. What should I do? I believe I should pinch them out. I've opened the windows to keep the room cooler. Any advice would be welcome.
Thanks, Sharon
