Jurassic Park fan leaves

Thanks it’s my first indoor grow

Both ways are fine. If your plant is not healthy and you have poorly developed roots I wouldn’t touch anything but a vigorous plant won’t mind. I focus more on root health in veg..... that will directly effect what happens up top.
No right or wrong way to do this. Just personal preferences.

A lot depends on where you are growing. My 8 foot greenhouse plants get a lot of trimming. There are many suckers that will never yield much. I take many small branches along with their fan leaves.

I also remove lower branches that will not produce.

Same. I pull the lowers and heavy trim a week or two before flip, then run another clean up two weeks after flip.
Shed gave me that advice.

Any leaf that isn’t dead or not blocking a bud site gets left to fall on its own.
Emilya told me about the plant cannibalizing itself if it’s deficient, and for other reasons, so I follow her theory to leave it alone until it’s obvious it’s not being helpful to the plant.
I’ve seen people cut all fans that have red stems, some people lollipop, others I’ve seen skin the whole plant of it leaves. To each their own in the growing world.

@Big juice, I have done tridents and chalices.

I figure that since the leaves are photosynthesis factories powered by the lights I take few of them off until I start to get an idea of what shape a clone is going to be, or the direction a plant from seed wants to go.
