Final trim/ small branches w/ buds

Hi, I think this will be my final trim but ..... So, I've attached a couple of pics to show this small branch with a bud coming off one of my thicker branches. My question is, should I trim that small branch off or try to open it up to see if it will get bigger/ thicker ? Any advice/ help is greatly appreciated as I am a newb./ 1st time grower. Oh, the grow is Qrazy train, kind of appropriate/ weird considering Ozzie passed away, sad .
Thanks as always.

That’s just larf/popcorn….it won’t become much, so no use going to the trouble of exposing it to the light. Some folks get rid of those, some leave them. I personally leave them alone because I’m a lazy stoner lol….

Good growing

No problem, my friend…. Feel free to tag me with any further questions (to tag, just type an @ symbol in front of my name)…

You can use the larf and sugar leaves/trim in edibles if that is your jam. I am still figuring it out myself; who to remove vs who to keep.
Enjoy the journey.

Yeah I've got a machine for that but I figured I'd better learn to grow first then worry about cooking. I do want to go to edibles for my health but it can wait for now. Thanks for the input .

Another approach is to harvest the top colas and let the smaller buds mature. Dual harvest

That is something I've never heard before. So would I leave them and at the first sign of cloudyness in the trichomes cut the top and leave the lower for awhile longer ?
Thanks.

I’d let the top buds trichomes mature to your ideal preference. Harvest them and let the lower buds go a few more weeks. They will still be smaller but will swell up and be decent smoke. Think of it as a bonus!
