Thank you, Oldbear. We ended up leaving the leaves on and the buds are now poking through no problem.
Two alternatives to consider: pull them down and open up the middle by LST methods, or tucking them behind other branches.
I prefer to leave them on during veg stages (with my wealth of experience lol $0.02 ) because they are big solar collectors and O2/CO2 breathers.
That said, my 2016 mini grow I took some off 2 of 4 plants with no noticeable visual difference to the (Non auto) plant. Cant say if it changed yield, flavor because there were too many other issues.
