Started my plants indoors and just finally got them outside about a week ago because of fluctuations in the weather(I’m in the thumb area of Michigan). Noticed a bit of pre-flowering going on and figured I must have shocked them in the transition from indoors to outdoor.
Will they recover decently or am I screwed?
 
You're probably not screwed. A few pistils at the nodes after the plant is mature is just preflowering, not the same as the plant fully committing to bloom.

If the tops are actually buttoning up with little bud clusters, then yeah, the indoor-to-outdoor move may have confused them a bit. Going from a steady indoor light schedule to real nights, cooler temps, wind, and transplant stress can stall them or make them flirt with flower. Around now in Michigan the days are still long enough that a normal photoperiod should keep vegging, but some early-trigger plants get twitchy.

I wouldn't try to "fix" it with heavy feed or a bunch of pruning. Keep the root zone steady, don't let them dry out hard while they're settling in, and give them a week or two. If they reveg you may see some weird single-blade leaves and twisty new growth for a bit, then they'll clean up and keep moving.

Yeah,it’s like it’s too late to pop more beans and try again so it’s a wait and see.
I think they’ll be fine too but always reassuring to hear other comments

did you not match your indoor light hours to outdoors?
what did you veg at indoors? 16/8? or 18/6?
if 18/6 than to outdoors with 15.5 hours light and if your plants were showing sex than more than likely they started flowering,. if in a few weeks the plant try’s to reveg than it’ll be nothing but a moldy mess not long after,.
