Can these fan leaves go?

first grow,3 days into a 10 day flush. my question is i started hack'n the fan leaves off a couple plants. the idea was to make the actual trimming a little less time consumeing.with only 7 days left before i start drying i dont see how fan leaves would hurt me this late in the game, but like ive said before,im no expert.whada u guys think???

I think it could hurt just because they put on a lot of weight the last week or two<but probably not that much

If they cover a bud, or are yellow and dried up then yes. but if they are green wait i let a plant suck all the nitrogen out of the leaves. ill start cutting them off the day before i dry.
