Tuck em. I have never pulled a healthy fan leaf off on purpose.
Some people say to pull em if they're over 50% dead but even then..to me...if there's any green left in a leaf, the plant will use it. Whether that's true or not I don't know..again though...if you ask me...never pluck healthy fan leaves. Tuck em under the buds yes but they are the food factories for the plant. Not to mention pulling shit off your plants can throw them into shock for a bit.

All strain dependent of course and ymmv, imho, fwiw...

I was just wondering if anyone removes the huge fans leaves form their plants. I have some plants from seed and they have some 8-9" wide fan leaves on 12" plants and they are blocking the light from penetrating to the lower branches.
