Help! First grow. Should i cut off the lower/smaller buds?

no.. you shouldn't cut them.

you could do a little lst to get more light to them
or when you harvest the upper buds you could leave the lower ones to develop for a little longer

or you COULD cut them if you want

lst will be more preferable

no i would not trim them... only trim the plant during vegetative growth that way is can recover from teh injury, then rebound and keep trucking. If you cut them during flowering it tends to retard their development. Its like smacking your six year old in the head while he/she is learning their times tables.

so your saying its ok to smack your kid in the head if there younger then 6 and not learning? bad analogy. lol

even tho light isnt hitting the buds theyll still grow cuz the overall plant is getting light and growing still id leave the plant alone unitl the buds reach full potential

The hell with that, cut them off, the plant can quickly heal those wounds , now it won't waste its time trying to grow bottom rung fluff bud. Instead it will work on the main cola and make it dense and big!! I cut bottom growth on the 3rd and 6th weeks of flowering. It works!

I'm scared my plant will die if i cut off the small buds the leaves are already wilting a bit.

same! Its my first grow, and 4th week of bud'n, should i leave those tiny stretched buds growin way down low? Also, should i trim the smaller leaves comin out from the actual buds, some are quite large, and i cant find anything online.

Thanks
