Is it ok to remove alot of the branches that don't result in buds? I don't know how to explain it any other way as I don't know what they are called. The lower of the sets of branches that don't really go anywhere. Regardless I've got 4 plants and on two of them I am heavily trimming just to see if it effects the weight at harvest time. But would be cool to know if this is a good or bad idea.
I guess you could remove the ones located by the bas of the stem as those will give the weakest buds, or you can just leave them and use those popcorn buds to make hash.
