Pruning question - mainlining (2nd week of bloom)

Hey guys this is my 3rd grow. I am in the 2nd week of bloom with a huge sativa plant. I mainlined it out to 8 colas, and it's taking up an entire 2x4 tent. Prior to flipping to bloom, I trimmed all the nodes off except the top, leaving all the fan leaves. Now that it's doing a stretch, as the main colas continue to grow, there were some other nodes up top that have branched out. I am debating whether I should leave them or cut them.

What do you suggest? I'm wondering if the main cola will fill out into a big tree-shaped bud that engulfs those nodes?

I'm aiming to get as much bud as possible, and I mainlined for bigger buds.

you want your canopy to be about 10-20" thick depending on your light source.

Any bud that is more than 20" lower than your top bud can go, imo.
Thanks man, these are about 4-8" from the top. I'm not sure how long they will keep up with the top, but I am also training the branches down because the plant is 3/4 the height of the tent already!
