Should i cut fan leaves of when i flower?

Ok I know this will be better with pics so I'll get some up tonight when the lights come on. 25 days of vegging I'm thinking about two more weeks till I flower (bigger plant bigger yield right?) Right now I have a ass load of under growth should I hack off the fan leaves that are shadowing it? Or would that ruin its light absorbtion.

leafs are what vreate the buds so leave them theri. and aslo bigger plant does not mean bigger yield in all cases. if you have a huge plant under a small amount of lights your yeild will be shit

I see this asked all the time. Simple answer is hell no.

i always leave fan leaves. The plants rely on them to help finish. the reason they turn yellow is they use the nitrogen out of them. Plus less issues with heat stress

Should I just tie them back

yea man just tuck em out of the way. I never cut a healthy leaf off my plants.

ya it seems alot of people are now saying it is good to cut them, its like saying if you cut the leafs off a apple tree then the apples will be huge cuz they are getting more sun now

my smartass comment i like to use is, stupid mother nature, putting allthese leaves here that serve as solar panels and store sugars and nutrients in my way, i think i'll hack em off.
