Should I have trimmed the Bush?

More than normal I have noticed a large amount of second growth at the base of the plant, im wondering if this is caused by adding new soil during flower? Or if this is normal? Also should I have just cut it off as it grew, seems to be a waste of energy as they won't get light.

You can remove second growth at the base of the plant that don't get light. Also having that much leaves in the bottom/base top of each other not a good thing with condensation at dusk and night time, will expose your plant to mold. Make it less bushy in the middle and base and you will be fine. Don't defoliate to heavily aside that, plant need it's leaves to process nutrient and produce energy.

Yes you should have removed that growth as it won't be getting the light it needs. Yes you can remove it now.
