Quick question guys... what tips should i need for the flowering stage? PLZ HLP

i was lucky and got two females out of two seeds from bag. i want to know if its a good idea to cut fan leaves during the flowering stage. i was told it was but i rather have more input frm more ppl.

I don't like pruning. I just like to put CFL's around the lower bud sites.

Do not cut the fan leaves! Dont want to get all technical but that's my input.

the only good reason to cut fan leaves is if you want to slow the growth of that part of the plant relative to others. for instance, i've cut alternating fan leaves off of the main stem to help the secondary branches catch up and create a full canopy with multiple colas (also topped the main stem). there is no basis in good horticulture to trim the leaves to "expose the bud sites". most of the light the plant absorbs is through the leaves and then sugar is transported throughout the plant to fuel growth. another reason to prune would be to cut off the lower nodes that don't receive much light to help the plant concentrate on the nodes you want to keep.
