trimming for light

im just into week3 of flowering and the bigger leaves seem to be covering her lower branches does trimming them back cause stress as im using female seeds and one regular white cross.
i know when i did my last grow i was a bit more sensible and removed the fan leaves near the branches just before i went into flowering and the yield was much more than the one i didnt.

just tuck them under bud sites, removing fan leaves is a bad idea, no matter who says it. This way the bud sites get more light and the plant can still photosynthesize through the fan leaves

the problem bro is some of them wont bend over but i think maybe a bit of string will do it thanks for getting back to me, i thought it might be a bad idea

i just tuck mine under or to the side, if you leave em a few days, the secondary growth will push up like crazy, maybe easier to tuck then ..
