Will these form buds

You went alittle far, alittle early but its okay.
You shouldn't cut off side branches unless they won't receive any light.
The branches you cut off would have become big colas. You should have only lollipopped off the leafs
No big deal, plenty of plant left. But I would LST and give it atleast 10-14 more days of veg
But since I removed those other secondary shoots won’t it just redirect every to the other tops?

Yes to a point. Ultimately the plant needs the leaves and the buds can only get so far. It reaches a point of diminishing returns. Don't get me wrong you'll definitely get buds but probably not as good as it could be.

I think maybe they thought it was undergrowth? :confused:

Your plant could sustain those extra tops and you would end up with a larger harvest.
Esspecially if you utilize LST to make an even canopy.
Its not too late like I said, tie your branches down with something, and let it veg for another week or two. Let all the side shoots come up and they will become large colas

The main stem is too hard to bend. Afraid it might snap

Watch some YouTube videos
Its totally possible to break a branch
Buts its also surprisingly hard to do
I broke a branch the other day, duck tape it back together, its good as new.
I am VERY aggressive with training and I still only break a branch once or twice

I more often than anything, I accidentally split the trunk of the stalk

All that lower growth that you chopped off could have grown up into that center space.

IMO you went too far, at least at this point. If you had waited until after stretch to lollipop and continued to LST you could have had much better results. Something to consider for next time at least. Good luck.
