Removing growth tips - mainlining

Hi, I’ve been mainlining 2 plants for quite some time. I’ve just topped for the 5th time, giving this beast 32 tops.

my question is - should I be stripping the tips from the lower growth nodes in veg? Since this is my last top - I imagine I won’t be removing tips after this because I’ll be switching to flower - but do I want to remove those growths that are below before switching to flower?

Pics or didn't happen bruh

Fair enough. Just to prove this happened.

The first picture shows a top that has just been topped - you can see it has other growth tips on it. Debate is if I should remove those growth tips since I believe I want all the flowers on the main tops - which don’t even exist yet???

Bumpity

I would leave them, I'd expect them to be part of the canopy, you can take them off at a later date if required.

You can remove the tops that seem like duds once stretch is over in flower-you shouldn't keep all of those.

So while I’m still in Veg - my belief is if I strip the tips below the node which I’ve topped - more energy will be diverted to the topped node - is this conceptually correct? I wouldn’t want any colas below the mains which I’m creating

Try both and see how it goes, I'd expect more vegitation to equal more plant growth.
