I disagree, I have run BD for a year solid. I have pruned at end of week 2 and end of week 3. Definitely end of 2 is better. You are right in thinking that you will waste flowering energy by pruning off young flowers. You will be doing this on day 20. Get the vast majority of pruning done by day 14 and the clones will be fine. BTW when I cloned the BD on day 20, they rooted fine but took weeks to revert. THey kept on flowering in the plugs before they even had roots! I ended up tossing them out.
i wouldnt actually try to keep the cuts either
i would however prune anything under the canopy when need be . its gonna get dense up there and any flower under that canopy aint gonna get light
the BD has plenty of vigor and youre not gonna set it back energy wise by cutting theses tiny bottom buds
