Onion Growing

Question

I want to grow big onions, if possible, and this year’s weather in New York seems good for them. My problem is the stems are about 18 inches tall and they are starting to seed, but the bulb isn’t very big yet. Can I cut the stems back to prevent this without bothering the growth?
