Should I cut off sucker leaves during flowering?

I planted my seeds to early and now they are starting to flower. It is in a 5 gallon pot outside and I will bring it in for 12 hours of darkness. Since I am trying to flower should I cut off all of the sucker leaves that are not going to produce buds? Any advice would be great

As a rule never cut leaves they are the solar panels for the plants.
Unless you have a super bushy girl like my gdp.
I do trim alot of leaves and do a lot of bondage.
What are you growing and pics would help.

For me, the "suckers" can be/will be buds up & down the stalks. So I take off fan leaves to allow more light to the baby buds. Uncle Ben has a good theard about this sort of stuff. Not a LOT of fan leaves at once, a few at a time.

would you cut one of your arms off in hopes of being taller?
the leaves will yellow and die at natures time plus youd be cutting off literally a bunch of goodness that gets sucked back in to the plant as the leaf dies.
