I think it is bad as the plants are too small and need to have more growth on them to make them healthier and produce more.  I ALWAYS pinch off the first flowers as I think it stresses the plants out too soon and then they get set back.  But don’t pinch too much because they may be determinate plants.  I would check that out first.  But even those I pinch if the plant is way too small to focus on fruit.

So, I am about to plant my tomatoes but they have a couple flowers each.  I heard somewhere this was bad.  Can anyone tell me what the consequences will be of this?
