my plant is flowering(4-5weeks in) and the buds are starting to get big with tons of leaves coming from the buds! now can i cut the fan leaves off my main stalk, or does my plant still need those?

There are a select few in here that recommend cutting off fan leaves but not very many. Cutting off fan leaves can stress your plant and cause a slow down in flowering and is simply, in my opinion, not a good idea. I have read that taking one or two off should not be a big deal but bending them out of the way would be much easier on the plant. Roughly two weeks before harvest, you should flush your plants and stop all nutes. The plant will begin to take nutrients from the fan leaves and the leaves will turn yellow and eventually drop off. So in short, fan leaves are good, they provide a source of nutrients to the plant and do have purpose. I figure that if the plant wanted more light on it's buds, it would shed the fan leaves on it's own.

When does Mother Nature cut off the leaves of plants and trees? When growing indoors, YOU are Mother Nature.

Leave the leaves on. They will eventually start turning yellow and fall off, or be easily pulled off, as the plant nears the end of it's life cycle. If you want to get more light to the buds, just fold the fan leaves back and tuck them in.

can i just fold them back now? are these fan leaves using light, or need light right now? if these leaves dont need light and are just there to store the nutes, then i should just fold them back? right?

No ... the leaves USE the light. Why are you so intent on exposing the buds? By the time you are at the seven to eight week stage you will have some nice colas and chunky buds in spite of the fan leaves. Or perhaps I should say BECAUSE of the fan leaves. ~lol~ Again ... YOU are Mother Nature.
