Remove fan leaves or not

First time grower here. I am almost 4 weeks into veg. I have some short bushy plants. I think it’s part genetics and part too much light too close for the first couple of weeks before I figured out that was probably wrong. I have some huge fan leaves that are blocking light and the plants are so dense I am worried about air circulation. Thoughts on whether I should go ahead and remove some of the larger fan leaves in the way?? Also, I think they were getting too heavy of nutrients early on, and I’ve fixed that too, and they are improving.

Gona be honest, defoliation can be used as a tool to sort of limit growth. Not to the extreme of that 'bout-a-pounder @buckaclark posted, but, that person had a goal as well.
