Little low buds, keep or prune?

[OBSD]

Hi everyone,
My girls been flowering for a couple weeks now. The lower buds and some smaller branches are looking pretty scraggly. Is it better to keep these on or prune now? I like to cook a lot so I figured maybe these little fluffy buds would be good for that or something. I’ll include some pictures of them, as well as the main buds.
Thanks!

Personally would only trim the tiny ones off the bottoms now

Leave it. For sure. For your own knowledge harvest as if you had removed them. Then harvest them next and weigh it. I just gave away 2 ounces of hard little nugs stripped from the branches after the good buds were jarred. From 4 plants.

No reason to cut them off. They'll be fine for edibles.

If you don't smoke leave them. All the buds might be smaller but yield might be a little more

cutting branches off, even small ones, causes stress. you want all of that done by the time they start to flower, or it could cause some herming.
And, those small "popcorn buds", along with trimmed sugar leaf, is what i make hash out of
