Hey just wondering, should i be removing the lower buds that dont get any light and arent developing? Its week 4 into flowering now so not sure if its a bit late! Really quite confusing this pruning of leaves and buds business. I know people say remove leaves that dont get light cause they use up energy but I thought the leaves made the energy? Or do they mean the leaves are sucking up valuable nutrients from roots and not having any light to convert them to energy so its wasted?
Should I remove these buds...

Noooo! Yer too far along into flowering! Take the popcorn you get @ the end & do somethin w/it:hash, cannabutter/oilmilk, etc
ok thanks 
Ill stick to removing dead leaves when they come about then. Out of curiosity whys it bad to do it so late? Does it waste time repairing the cut or something? if so does that mean you should remove dead leaves as long apart as possible and at the same time each time?

When leaves die, remove as close to plant as possible
