Strawberry Plants: To Cut Back Or Not.

I have plants I grew indoors from seeds this month. I assume I should pinch off buds. But will I need to cut back the plants so they will be the proper size in the spring?

They can't be too tall if you just grew them from seed. Remove leaves as they naturally die out. I suggest planting them outside in the ground and mulching well. They will get new growth in spring.
