HMMMMMMMMM! lets look at this another way.
You spend its whole life cycle keepeing it healthy and making it green and get as big as you can, only to cut it when it needs the most energy?
If you Tjose fan leaves are like its power plants. Cutting them off is like shutting down its main food source. Sucker brances are for trees not weeds!

I cut some fan leaves off in the last week that are covering the tops of the lower buds. I usually don't cut them all off, but if I can't bend them or move them and they are blocking a lot of light, then I take them off. usually the ones that are being taken off have already turned color so they are of little use. I have seen many plants truck along in the same fashion the last week of flowering with most of their leaves taken off. Depends on the plant genetics.
