Will these mini fans resin with buds

I have a bunch of mini buds that are growing up with my main colas that have reached up where I had my colas pulled all the way down. They have a small cola tip and are growing a shit ton of mini fan leaves between the buds and flower. Will they resin up as a bud or do I need to snip them off. I am just now starting week six of flower. They look like flowers instead of colas.

I want a whole plant picture here but it sounds like you're on track to get a nice little harvest. I lst all my cola's and allow the lower growth to grow out at which point I snip the undergrowth of the new cola's.

You can always save the small stuff later for edibles anyway
Usually you would think that the flowers were growing more like a cola But instead Really small pointy tips of leaves with flower on the top. Here’s the colas. The main colas are even doing the same thing but still leaving a good lunch size bud on the top. it’s like it the stems are stretching out and it’s make an individual cola rather than grow up and spread out together.

Looks good, just a bit leafy of a strain.
Give it a few weeks and they will look more like colas

I hear people say this and other people say cut the small stuff so it can put more energy into the other stuff and make it bigger and better. My question is where is the line? Can you cut everything but 1-4 colas and just end up with massive 1 once buds. I always worry when I'm trimming and go back and forth on what to cut and what to leave. I've always wanted to try something like this, is that how people do it??

Use the amount of light the bud gets as the cut off
If its get nothing, its consuming more energy than it can produce for itself. Those should be cut, or "lollipopped" off.
If it gets some partial light, it may be able to sustain itself and you should keep it for edibles.
If it gets full light, then it should become good smoking product

Take a short cut and just flower a plant with good genetics/fat buds, take the cola's from that as clones. Finish out half the clones and reveg the other half and monster crop them bizzies

Looks like you've got a ways to go. Everything will get bigger and more frosty. I'd leave those smaller buds in the first picture and use them for joints or edibles if they don't become what you want them to, but it's pretty much personal preference.

I would like to add that this is also where defoliating comes into play.
Some argue that you shouldn't at all, but indoors it really has been well proven to be effective.
Its a balancing act of lollipoping to remove useless branches and strategically defoliating to add light deeper in the canopy
