Im doing an LST; there are alot of fan leaves covering up the places that i want to get more light. Should i cut the fan leaves that block light, or will cutting the leaves cause more harm than good? +rep for any help. Thanx!

leave the fan leaves on , they are like solar panels , absorb energy & send it to the buds ,,, just leave em be ,, if a fan leaf is ate from bugs or brown & yellow wrinkling up , id pull it off ,, but anything else leave em be , the leafs are not blocking light , buds will actully grow better in shade as they do not need direct light , thats what the leafs are there for
