Why should you not trim leaves during flowering

[Italiano715]

I was told that during flowering, i should trim the larger leaves off that are hiding the buds. I did do this and have trimmed several leaves off the plants giving the plant more light for the buds. Now i have been told NOT TO trim that the larger leaves help light intake.

I have noticed some of the plants are wilting on the bottom.
is this from trimming too much.
What is the affect from trimming the leaves that i will have?
I am pannicing now i have gone this far i am afraid i might have messed things up.
any input would be grateful
thanks

One word.... HERMIE! When you clip off fan leaves, branches, etc. it causes stress to the plant which could cause hermies. The key is to try and not cause ANY type of stress during flowering. Also, your fan leaves take in the light/feeds your plants. I could get more in detail with it but I'm :stoned: and lazy at the moment! Someone else will stop in to finish what I started!
