Ive heard many people say different things,,,

Light isnt really reaching the bottom of my plants from middle down.

I have 8 in a 4x4 space.

Should i trim fan leaves and if so where ??

IMO at this point in veg i would just leave it be unless leaves of plants are over lapping in which case you might want to consider doing less plants... Once flowering starts you could remove fan leaves that are covering bud sites... Just my two cents.

if u cut off no more than 50% of fan leaves evenly around your girl. it will then start growing more outward instead of up. when ur plant recovers, u can cut off up to 50% of leaves to do it again. one way to make a bush

Stress would be quite possible but regardless after only two weeks of growth it would be more likely that it hinder the plants growth than encourage it... However, with that said don't keep fan leaves that are dead or dying, but you shouldn't have dead fan leaves that early unless there is some other problem.
