i think my buds arent getting as much energy as needed because of the bigger fan leaves blocking them. the question is it to late to cut the fan leaves. also the plants are flowering 4 weeks.

Unless the leaf seems half-dead or worse.... It'd probably doing more good than bad.

it looks like you fried your plants, the leaves don't hinder bud growth they help it .
If your buds aren't forming properly it's not because of the fan leaves, it looks like you are overfertilizing your plants, what nutes and at what ratios, what's the pH of the water

Very wrong. Unless they're getting zero light.

I look at it as help vs hurt. If the hurt outweighs the help, it gets chopped.

HPS'S 20 or so CRI makes visual analyzation difficult.

the plants arent fried the lamp isnt hitting the side thats not growing as well as the other side. two plants in the same system ones perfect while the other seems like its not getting as much light because of the bigger leaves.. thats why im wondering is it to late to cut the fan leaves.

your leaves look shitty, you can tell they are burned and have yellow around the edges. The leaves are integral for bud production, leave them...
