New buds, keeping or removing?

Some leave all, but most clean those "sucker" buds. They usually are underdeveloped and dont bring weight . Lolipoping and light penetration into canopy - thats two things you need to search out, for having clear answer.

Those will not develop much unless you do like me and assign lights on the sides, hence won't take much resources either. I'd just leave em, and turn them into edibles after harvest! xD

You are correct, those do not usually amount to anything. Typically they will always stay small and never ripen up to the point of being anything worthwhile to smoke. You can remove them at any point, earlier the better though as your plant has already wasted energy on them and not your top buds. If you are looking to wash them for hash or grind them up to put into edibles, you can leave them on if you wish. I typically get so many B grade buds higher up my plant anyways that I use for those purposes that these tiny ones are usually just a waste. Hope this helps.

Generally you want to remove those before flower or very early in flower. You're not too far in and I would remove them. The only reason to keep larf is for extractions or edibles, otherwise lollipop the plants when you flip or before week 3 of flower ideally.
