Anybody think at this stage of that spears life, I could cut off the bigger fans blocking light from lower nugs on plant? They need more light.

I hate trauma in flower, I'd try and bend them out the way. Tuck if you can. Any trauma will take from flower production to heal
I would, clear out all the bigger fans.
Don't cut fans, tuck them. The fans are converting sunlight to sugar for the buds to grow.
I've even used twist ties to tie the fans down to the stems if they won't stay under the buds.
Looks like penny disagrees with me! Personally I wished I had left the fans on after I defoliated as I lost fans to bugs and caterpillars. Now I take them off when they've gone yellow, per Jorge Cervantes.

Once they go into flower Stinky Snid tells people take all the inside fans and leave the outside fans.

Is it merely for light penetration?
Indoor vs outdoor grow maybe? Sun is moving across the sky with excellent light penetration vs static lights in the box might be the difference.
Damn Waffle you're always 30 second ahead of me!
"you're retarding the bud, that's weird."
That's why when I defoliated below my "scrog grid" I left them instead of a clean bottom
I'm feeding the kid so I'm stuck refreshing my phone lol
Yes to get light to the lower flowers

Ok...I didn't get to flush my first grow...it needs watering now, so anyone have a link to proper flushing? Tap water ok at this stage?? I'm in soil if that matters!! You just run three times the pot size through it? How many times for how long? Thanks yall.
yeah, personally I would tuck. Jorge said it was science. We need to get Neil Tyson DeGrasse to chime in.
I'm sure you'll get a lot of flush instructions here, but in case you want the contrarian view:
A critical look at preharvest flushing
Personally I only flushed when the PPM out were getting much higher than the PPM in, which happened close to harvest bc the plant is using less (fewer?) nutrients.
Water with tap to run off
Are you using flawless finish or anything like that? When do you plan to chop? Sorry if you mentioned that
I see your moving right along.
Rocking it with some of the girls. Lol
To defoliage or not to defoliage!
That is the question?
As long as you don't defile during defol, or devolge her secrets!
A little nip to tuck for light penetration of love from "RA"!!!
Is always in good order.
