So I decided to scrog.when I set up my 2 scrogs(2 diff strains) I started 8 seeds (4 of each)expecting a male or 2.well no males so I just let her go.now that they are showing flowers there are tons of giant happy fan leaves blocking a lot of bud sites from light,seems kinda crowded?! What are most of your opinions on trimming while flowering?
Thanks for any help!

This is usually a matter of preference, I usually just move the leaves to a different position so they don't interfere with the buds.
IMO removal of healthy leaves damages a healthy plant. Contrary to what one might think removing large fan leaves doesn't make the plant more productive, regardless of the extra light supplied to the buds, small leaves and growing tips. The girls need their leaves to productive the max amount of chlorophyll, therefore removing these leaves slows chlorophyll production and stresses the plant which translates into stunted growth. I would recommend only removing leaves that are 50% damaged or more.
hope this helps :)
