The suckers are new growth tips and will turn into new colas. I will usually pull off the new growth tips that grow beneath the branch and let any of the ones on the sides or top grow out. For a proper mainline I think you're going to want to pull off all of the growth tips before the nodes you top at. Here is probably the most informative and thorough website I've found on topping/mainlining/manifolding: https://www.cocoforcannabis.com/how-to-mainline-cannabis-plants/ Good luck in your grow, your plants look good!

yes those suckers will turn into colas too, just keep in mind that more colas does not mean more yield. it is a matter of wanting less, but bigger colas or the other way around.

If your just looking for mains only then pluck everything. If you want some popcorn or to leave some bud to grow up from centre do that. All depends what your looking to do man but with plants you can pretty much shape em how you like.
