Well to give you good information here, You want your bud sites exposed to the light more than you want your many fan leaves. If you have to trim a single leaf off to get light to a large amount of sites do it.
Alternatively, if your plants are taller, you can simply clip off the lower branches to focus growth on the main bud sites and not worry about light getting to all the sites.
