Im sure you’re fine its always better to have some big leaves than smaller ones, im dure it does affect penetration just be sure to keep an eye out for side branching..if thats the case you may want to consider pruning larger leaves to let sid branching come along
What does the difference make about a leaf size? Big, small, medium ishh.. just curious I have an auto I'm doing now Crystal Meth and a Lemon Skunk and the Crystal Meth leaves are smaller than normal. Pretty sure just genetics... 20220104_101231.jpg

No difference other than thicc chonky indica leaves. I personally practice heavy defoliation of all large fan leaves Day 1 (flip to flower) and again day 20 of bloom. It can stress out some genetics but the cuts I'm running right now love it. You get much fuller colas and less humidity, pest pressure and more airflow & fatter buds!

Yeah like calvin said.. there is no real harm in cutting up big fan leaves other than giving less photosynthesis.. if it doesn’t block a lower branch and shade it keep it on there… it sucks when you over do it and keep small leaves on a brach due to over defoliant though

I've got an amnesia haze auto that has some pretty big leaves for a young plant. So different to the strain beside it. I've got roughly the same size hand (8.75 length, 10" span) for reference. Not quite as big as your leaves, but hand size leaves at week four is different for an auto. Spewing the middle and lower set off to aid in penetration last week. They were quite a bit bigger again. I love seeing two completely different structures side by side.

Will be interesting to see how large they get if i can stop myself from removing them when it fills out during stretch lol. The only defol I usually do Is the main leaves on the 5 main nodes around week four or five.
