for single 'pet' plants you can manicure by pulling off wilting leaves, when they come off easily
don't rob your plant of chlorophyll, by removing strong green leaves.

Many say yes to pruning and trimming others say no.

Can slow down plant development, but can also increase yeilds.

I believe you should only do it if you must, the leaf is energy for the plant so dont take the energy away.

If the fan leaf is blocking light from hitting a bud spot then trim it.

Same for branches with no bud spots or light getting to them from under the canopy can be removed also.

Dont do to much trimming while it is early, best for late.

I recommend you trim 1 and not trim another and see the results yourself. Do what you prefer.

Good luck and happy
