Default Pinching off blossoms and buds

I have some dwarf tomato starts that were planted 7 weeks ago and are now about 7-8 inches tall. They are in 4 inch pots and have spent most of their time under LED shop lights. They now are spending 3 or 4 hours outdoors most days. It is still 6 or 7 weeks until they will be transplanted into 7 gallon pots. (They may need to go in gallon pots before then.)

Some of them are now starting to blossom. Do I pinch these off?

Yes, indeterminate full size dwarfs. Brandy Fred and Wild Spudleaf are two examples.

Well if still 7 weeks until planting I’d probably take them off and both are megablooms which will sap a lot of the plants energy for some misshapen catfaced fruit.
