It all depends on the amount of lighting one uses and how big the plants grow. If the canopy fan leaves block the light from the inner bud sites, removing them will allow light contact to the inner buds. I like leaving leaves on the plant as long as I can for water transpiration. At the end of veg, I want to remove fan leaves and nonproductive stems a little before flipping.
