-Everytime you cut part of the plant off, it takes 2 weeks for the plant to repair itself.
-If you cut the plant during flowering the plant will direct the energy it uses for flowering to repairing itself, which will lower your yield.
-More budsites does not mean more weed, just like adding an axle and wheels to your car won't make it go any faster.
Unless you provide extra light, soil, water and nutrients, more budsites mean more but smaller buds than uncut. Same yield by weight.

I would suggest NOT cutting your plant up this grow. I suggest just letting it grow unhindered so you become more familiar with growing weed in general.
