There are only three reasons to remove a leaf...
#1. It has turned more than 2/3 yellow or brown.
#2. It has mites or mold on it.
#3. It is blocking the light from getting to lower bud sites.

Removing the fan leaves will not significantly increase your yield. In fact, it may reduce your yield if you remove too many.
Just stick with what the plant does naturally. It knows how to grow.
