Too bushy flowering?

[SamRD]

I'm 10 days into flowering, did the pre flowering trim but it's very bushy. Fan leaves from one branch going into the bud sites of other branches, can a bud grow if it's cluttered with fan leaves?

I'm told to not cut fan leaves mid flowering because it can shock the plant and also they are a food source. What should I do?

I'd try to LST them a bit more. But you don't have much space. I would also do a little defoliating, but don't go crazy.

I say tie the branches apart from each other as best you can without damaging them, and let them stretch for the lights.

I agree with you

I wanted to tie them but the training made the branches hard as wood, I can't move them

Yes, but the new growth will be more flexible, it will stretch, your first grow?
