Man your scrog looks great!! As for the leaves, i wouldn't do it man. i would't cut any off. Let them die of their own volition and then remove them, but even then I wait until they are DEAD LEAVES. If you need some penetration into the canopy do this; tie the leaves down with the stems of their neighbor leaf. Yeah the leaf after you do this may not get enough light, and it will yellow or maybe die, but in the mean time the plant will use the carbs, and other shit stored in that leaf. I try to never, never take leaves off, after my initial pre flower thinning/lolipopping that is.
