Should I be cutting off these 'poopy' bottom wannabe buds?

I am on day 31 of flower, and the bottom of my plant really isnt doing crap (small and not crystally at all!), and besides it not really getting the best light. I was thinking of chopping about 4 stems but I don't want to tramatize my plants. If I cut the stems I could get the lights closer to the buds that matter, but at this point Im not really into adding an extra week flowering time or stunting these delicious cola's!!!! I have heard if the plant doesn't have the poo' buds the plant will concentrate its sugars to the top cola's, but this far into flower im not sure that it would be worth it if it slows down growth (thinking bout stress here.) I probably have about 3-4 weeks left of flower though, does anyone have any suggestions or personal experience???

Oh yeah I was thinking of cutting close to the main stem so hopefully these fuckers won't try to grow back on me.

leave em. if you cut em off the energy the plant spent on creating them will be wasted. just make hash out of em

Alright kind of what I was really thinking in the beginning. Besides if it aint broke don't fix it right! I think the only real reason I wanted to do this was so I could test-um, but I gotta be patient!!!!

Leave them if you can, harvest the bigger buds then drop the light and grow the small buds on.

I don't know this was a speriment from the beginning, removed all fan leaves only secondary leaves exposed (wtfsl) Crop crop crop, I have a lot of secondary buds so to make a long story short, they don't get light through the rest of the bush and they look pootytang
