Trim or no?

IMG_8711.jpg Heys. On my second grow. Decided to try mainlining. I have 5 Afghan Kush clones. My set up was meant for 4 plants, but ended up with 5 plants. Manifolding went well. Plants are doing well. 8 days into flower. Question is… WHAT SHOULD I BE DOING WITH ANY REMAINING SIDE STEMS/ BRANCHES??? None are very large yet. Clip or let em fly?
 
Leave the top two or three node branches on. If you have the room and they can get up into the light then leave more on.

Edit. When you top clones you also need to break the apial growth pattern to achieve an even canopy with similar sized buds. It doesn't look like you have done that.

Yeah. They’re close in height on individual plants. I have built a large Lazy Susan that fits in a 4x4 tent. I can turn it easily to get to the plants. Each plant is ona a smaller lazy Susan. I keep turning the plant so that the shortest limb is closest to highest light output. I was topping and crop to get them all at same height, but I reached the needed height and was time to roll to 12/12. 5 plants with 8 colas each. The are much healthier than the first grow. I was feeding 1/2 strength on dirt grow. This grow the were a little pale at beginning.. so I went to 3/4 strength and they greened right up. My first grow was 2 plants, and I got 19 ounces. Those were LST, and Scrogged to fill a tent. Too much Larry buds that were hard to work on. I’m disabled and with my current set up I can sit and work on all 5 plants and they get different light as I rotate and reposition. Think ima left them fly from here.
