Stems from nodes - Cut off?

[vyserage]

So as the plant grows and it has a set of nodes, im now in flowering and those nodes from the very bottom of the plant and in a few other places from all my plants are growing up and i can clearly see its another shoot. What does everyone do with those, clip em off so the energy gets spent elsewhere? Leave them be (would likely be tiny buds but some of them are definitely getting light)

What do u guy's do?

I lollipop up my plants trimming off those lower branches and clean out some suckers in the middle of the plant so the the buds it makes are just the bigger ones and not the popcorn little buds from low down on the plant.

If your canopy allows a useful amount of light thru, grow em! If not, trim those little suckers
