Removing fan leaves

Hey all
I've topped this green crack and done some light bending, it has a lot of large fan leaves. I know you cant remove them all but should I remove the top few so light can penetrate to the lower branches?

Just tuck them underneath another. Plants too small. When in say week 4 of flower and there blocking light remove some of them.

Cheers, plants only 5 weeks old.

Professional horticulturalists recommend pruning 20-40% at a time for best results. Cannabis is particularly resilient and can recover from extreme defoliation, but maybe give her a break, eh.
Stress can contribute to trichome and cannabinoid production, but how much is too much? We’re still working on it.
By now everyone generally understands that providing fresh air and room for growth is the reason we prune. The concept of “getting light to the buds” has been proven to be less important because flowers aren’t photosensitive.
But being as fan leaves are the solar panels, keep healthy ones on at least until you’re headed into flower.
Then again I’ve seen nearly leaf less plants deliver great buds.

That's a Green Crack from seed right? Anyways I would prune some of the lower fans if it was me. I love GC, and am fortunate to still have the clone only version. If you're in CO I could give you a cut. Just took a pic tonight at day 49.

remove as many leaves as you want. as long as photosynthesis is happening and you have readily available forms of food. take em all
