Although cutting off your lower branches causes some stress, it isnt enough to cause concern. Your plant WILL be able to focus its energy on the remaining top of th the plant. I grow inside so i never leave branches on the lower part of the plant because that part of the plant recieves minimal light, congests airflow, and invites unwanted pest/problems. I keep my bottoms well manicured for excellent ventilation. "Ask Ed" covers this topic in greater detail than i have posted. I know people who will leave bottom growth on. They do this because they take the smaller c grade buds, along with the leaf, and make bubble hash out of it. Smaller buds and leaf are also great when you use Butane to extract the THC. Very Very Strong. It melts like wax when heated, and one hit pretty much gets you where you want to go.
