to trim shade leaves or not

i have plants that are shading each other- should i trim large leaves so more sunlight will touch buds-

space them out, do not trim! when a plant doesn't need its leaves it will drop them off. If u r vegging then bend and twist the branches and use pipe cleaners to hold them. If in flower Do Not try that

What I'm doing is pulling branches over so to let more light get to those under them.Now that some are well into flowering I'm able to take some of those before the worms get them.They have mostly cloudy trichomes,so it's not like the aren't ready.I just like a variety.U just have to be careful when u pull them over.
