I certainly do - and have done just today! They're not going to amount to even a half-way decent popcorn bud so why waste the plant's energy on them? Snip, snip!! Good luck!

I remove them. I call them "suckers" because the growth is the same as a tomato plant's "suckers"

I’m a bit unsure, re: bubblicious, do you think i should fim or top or leave them at this point? as they are pretty squat also do you think putting the full spectrum lighting on now is ok as i have done? i figured as its auto it wouldn’t make a difference, more light more growth.

Just Stopped Stretch! - Gotta Do, What I Gotta Do?Against protocol I have hacked on this plant in Week 8. Way branchy! I got into pruning a dozen long scraggly lower runners. I could take out another 12+ wimpy branches easy and open it up good bit for light/air - and then leave it alone? Much anticipated waste, so gamble?
