    Should I prune lower bud sites?

    I’m day 21 into flower and my plant has lots of lower bud sites that aren’t getting much light. I am using a 285w LED light (advertised as 1800w). Am I better of removing them so the plant concentrates all it’s energy and nutrients on the upper bud sites or shall I leave them?
