Should I trim bottom larger fan leafs. Some sites say yes others say no. I’m lost on what to do.

The bottom level leafs are basically shaded by the upper leafs. I hope the pics help. I’m really lost, this is my first grow so all advice is greatly appreciate it and any suggestions you have for me as the grow goes forward please let me know. Thanks for your time and help.

Those lower fan leaves are solar collectors. If the plant didn't need them it wouldn't make them.I would leave them be.

You have a ways to go before you would need to do any trimming of useless foliage.

She/he looks good.

i do trim the bottom out, but not for quite a while longer, right now the plant is using those leaves to grow, when it gets about twice that size and the bottom leaves are completely shaded, and blocking air flow, that's the time for light pruning
