Unusual query I think...

I have a cannabis question that isn't very google-able, and is probably gonna be based on experience that I don't have.

I had an indoor grow this winter, and a few weeks before flowering I cut some clones, and got them growing nicely. Bad timing on my part, because when I threw the tent into flowering light I took the clones out - but it was winter, and I didn't have another grow light so they also started flowering in my living room window. There were some cute lil' sweet buds - but I thought once the first harvest is complete I can put them back into veg light and get them re-vegged - which I have done and it has started with those fox tail, single leaves and is now on 3 leaves, so I assume they are going to be okay.

The question I have though is what to do with the buds that are still on some of the plants?

I trimmed some before re-vegging, but didn't want to shock the plants too much so there are a few old fan leaves that are still happy and some old buds that are nice and sticky - but have some branches starting to grow out of them and some really extra curly, balled up leaves.

So I guess the questions are really - should I remove all the buds? Should I just leave it and let them do their own thing? They will be in my outdoor grow this summer so I'm just waiting for some warmer weather before taking them out of the tent, but not sure if I should manicure them beforehand.

Any advice is appreciated!

I'm not sure if you can tell from these photos, but you might be able to see the buds and where leaves are starting to grow out of them...

That's what i've had to do time consuming stripping of buds or old flower. Gawd i hope i don't go through that again. Try doing it to 7 outdoor photo plants 5ft tall.

Me myself and I went with letting the buds die and then removing them. They will need to be removed or risk bud rot.

I'd cut them off dry them and cure them and see what you got. Yes cutting them will stress your plant a bit but it should be fine.
EDIT...DO NOT remove future bud sites.

Okay, thanks guys - that's helpful. I will do them in two stages to stress the plant a little less.
Not sure how I can tell what future bud sites are - wouldn't they be where the buds are now?
They are way past when I should've harvested them I think - maybe 8 weeks? I might just take it and add it to the pile for bubble hash - they are still pretty sticky and smell awesome

Thank you all!
