First of all, are fan and shade leaves the same thing?

I've read massive debates on pruning fan leaves. I'm assuming they are referring to the upper fan leaves. And many of them talk about trimming all of them.

I'm concerned about the lower fan leaves. These are safe to prune right?
I would leave the upper half of the plant untouched.

My lower fan leaves are massive! The size of my hand. And the stem of the leaf is so freaking long! I can hardly get in and water them. I think this was caused by having the light to close, because the nodes are super compact.
Probably the B-1 too, the foliage went ape shit over it.


Thanks
