Removing sucker branches?

3 full weeks into flower and I have taken off some branches that will not reach acceptable light already.

More of these small branches keep appearing. Can I cut these (sucker) branches off, one or two a day during flower?

Same with some big fan leaves blocking flower sites, I try to tuck but some I want to pluck....

will this harm? or help?

Thank you.

Cut the sucker branches in flower, no problem.

I'm a fan of schwazee so I say snip the fan leaves for a better harvest.

should I limit a few a day, or one time cut 12 off etc...?

Depends on their size, if they're just 3 or 4 inches take them all at once, if you're taking whole branches from the stem a couple a day.

Personally the faster you remove them, the less energy you will have wasted. Every moment they are growing they are stealing energy from your larger bud sites. I haven't noticed any detriment from keeping your suckers cleaned up.

Oops I forgot. Didn't happen without a pic.

Cut them all off, up to 3-4 weeks
I do once before flower, then again in week 3-4
