Trim these fan leaves?

[Busternutt]

Hey gang, can I afford to remove the larger fan leaves with the brown edges? They went brown during early veg because my pH meter was reading incorrectly and the pH was way out for the first couple of weeks. Removing them would allow more light into the lower nodes. Started week 5 of flower on Sunday, this pic taken a few minutes ago.

IMO, yes

Yes and I would do further down into the canopy as well to get more airflow and light in to them. Opening them up will also help keep mould away later in flowering.
