is there such a thing as too many bud sites on a plant?

I have like 60-70 bud sites each plant. blue dream hybrid, 5 feet tall in 5 gallon buckets of happy frog. using tiger bloom, big bloom, and a touch of beastie bloom per schedule.
I am 3 weeks into flower. lots and lots of bud sites, everywhere on the plant. Nice little buds with white hairs and tiny red hairs too, maybe 1/2-3/4 inch tall each.
Lower leaves near soil all green too no nute burn or light burn. All leaves healthy and mid green, some have 7 and 9 fingers.
Should I trim off the lowers or just let them all grow?
I have a t5 6 light about 6" off the top, I have an LED on one plant on the side (ufo 90 watt) they all look the same.

Ive seen HUGE 6ft bushes in 5 gal buckets, you should be fine as far as having to many bud sites.

I would trim some of the lower buds off (the ones not getting much light) to get more energy to the better bud sites.
Only a few at a time so you dont stress the plant out.

Leave the large lower fan leafs alone, just the small stuff.
The plant will use the lower fan leaves to store nitrogen for flowering, the will yellow an die an fall off naturaly, as the plant sucks em dry.

Be sure to get lots of air into that bush, an keep humidity down to avoid mold in the last few weeks.

Sounds like a good plan to me. I wouldnt worry bout doing it a few at a time though, I do it all at once. It seems to be better to get it over with and not prolong the stressing imo. If you want you can try to make a bunch of clones from what you cut. I usually do.

I am running about 40% humidity, co2 at 1500ppm, and temps around 74-78 degrees fluctuates a little.
I will trim a few off each day, the lowers only.
I cloned before I went to flower and my clones have nice roots at 3 weeks, using those peat moss plugs and a tray with like 1 tsp grow big per gallon.
I did not know you can take clones late in bloom.
As far as trimming do i trim the bud or the small branch?

I would get my temps up to around 85 so the plants can take full benefit of the additional co2...

i heard the stomata close up after 80, any truth to this?
