Lower bud sites?

[Pmoe90]

The bud sites at the bottom of the plant do you guys keep them or cut them off? They're not very strong I wouldn't think it would hold much weight. I've got about 4 tall skinny bud sites growing at the bottom. Not sure what to do with them.

Take clones before flowering

Do what you like. I usually end up leaving a lot of them on.

If you need a clone or two, chop them down and clone them. If you don't need clones, get rid of them.
I LOLLYPOP all my plants, because when you remove any growth on the bottom, it forces the plant to use its energy and nutrients to push everything higher, into the top buds.
I clean up everything below my SCROG net line. And on the big branches, I may even go higher then that.

Usually I do and sometimes I don't -> they get rolled into joints! (which is what commercial growers use).
