What I will be doing is letting the colas grow and fatten up, and selectively tucking or removing fan leaves when they are shading bud sites. Up until this point I was tucking the entire canopy 2-3x per week. Now I will just tuck or remove the most problematic fan leaves - dealing with them on a case by case basis rather than the whole canopy on a scheduled basis...
MVP, that sounds about right in my book. After 2 or 3 weeks into flowering it's usually time to leave them be, and only move or remove the offending leaves as they shade buds. At that point the goal should have been to fill in the entire screen, but if it's not filled in, you gotta just leave them alone mostly.
