I wanted to know if i could cut these big fan leaves or trim them so that the light could get to this new growth? It just started to flower so i wanted the new growth to see light.

i think you misunderstand what i mean by production. i don't mean final yield or anything like that, just the efficiency of the plant's growth.You will not harm the plant or production if you cut off fan leaves. If your plant only has a few, then you should cut them down about half way or cut off fingers half way to alow further light to penetration to the lower sets of leaves.
I agree with above, many 'scroggers' will trim away big fans, others will tie them, personally I do what the guy quoted above suggests...trim the leafs down without actually removing them completely, I know a few outdoor growers who do that too, trim those big leafs to a shorter round shape, it really helps disguise them from a slight distance. Your call really, but this debate has been going on for over 10 years that I know of......... from personal experience it wont harm them and improves light penetration, and with CFL's you want all the light you can get.You will not harm the plant or production if you cut off fan leaves.
