How bad would it stress my plant?

To cut off the lower buds that don't get much light? Im really jonesing right now, and those lower buds look so good. I don't want to stunt my plant, and lose weight in the end though. How bad would it be? =l

idk, good question... i had removed a couple from one of mine and left the other plant go,(week 6 -7 flowering cfl) its been atleast a week now and doesnt seen to have changed a thing. i would still recommend "NO"... cause you will stare at the bare cut spot and wonder what she would of turned out like i do atleast 3 times a day...lol
