By sucker nodes you mean the lower buds, the popcorn sites? Yes remove the lowest growth and anything small or in shadow. I leave around 4 nodes on each stem especially if the internode spacing is nice and tight 🌱👍

when I prune suckers from my plant.....they are the stems that won't really grow or produce much in flowers...are usually on the bottom of the plant. keeping this in mind I prune the bottom few nodes depending on how much stretch the plant will have. Light is a big determiner on what will be a sucker and what will produce. the further from the light the higher likelihood that it will be a sucker branch. Not sure about LEDs but I know that with HID lighting for every 12 inches from the light the amount of light is reduced by approx. half.
