Lower bud sites wk5

[projectpanda831]

Can i remove these lower bud sites? I start week 5 tomorrow. I just dont know if this will affect the plant. What about pruning? Is that still an option?

I don't mess with them. Waste of time for my needs. I keep the bottoms trimmed way up. They are nothing but suckers that keep the upper buds smaller.

I like to prune a few leaves here and there around the top of the canopy to allow light down further, but I like to make cannabutter, so I leave the lower buds alone and harvest them as part of the shake for butter.

Just another way of looking at it. My buddy BigSur would totally agree as he uses the lower buds for oil. I smoke flowers. I use sugar leaves for those purposes.

My trim from my harvest is what i make oil or whatever out of. I remove lower limbs because they use energy and don't produce well.
Now i bet if you used side lighting you could decent buds on lower limbs,,but id rather use that light on the canopy.

I was told to remove the lower bud sites but i just want to make sure its not going to affect the plant in a negative way since im in week 5 of flower.
