Ok so my plan is to lay these girls down as people do when super cropping, but I’m not snapping the main stem , maybe call it medium stress training 🤷‍♂️ I’m sure it’s been done before
My question is should I cut the bottom two branches? It would seem to me that those are viable producers with the way the plant is being trained
Any information would be appreciated

When I top autos I snip above the 5th node, and remove the bottom 2.

I try not to defoliate until pistils appear in the belief that more leaves mean more roots.

I'll strip each riser and lollipop it. I hate trimming, so I only want to grow eggs, not grapes or peas.
 
In my limited experience, I have removed the first nodes in Coco grows as they never seem to produce much or get tall enough to get big flowers.
In soil with LST, I only trim the ones not getting enough light. This grow with 3 plants removed one set on one plant the others were fine to grow out.
