Should I only take fan leafs? Or small bud sites too?

Not enough info..it looks like they are grown from clone rather than seed?
It doesn't look lie you've done any LST either.. so I'd be tempted to leave them be for now aside from taking off the very bottom stuff thats in the shade. I wouldn't go mad though.

unless you are supplementing side lighting then it's usually best to remove, some growers lollypop

Don't take any bud sites off, lol... take a few bits of undergrowth off if you need to...
Shes from seed vegged for 6 weeks
In soil also. And I do have a sidelight lol
I did a light LST. Very light. In the mornings and at night id bend them but I ended up stopping when I flipped to flower.
but ok perfect ill take those bottom ones off. Thank you
Would you say this is better?

I always clear the lower growth. I like my plants to focus on the bud sites towards the top to maximize the flower there. If the plants have dense foliage I'll also take off the fan leaves and only leave them on if it has naturally light foliage. Part of my thinking is lower leaves won't get light if the plant has dense foliage or I have a thick canopy. So their function to the plant as nutrient batteries will be lost since they will dies faster. I also don't want my plant putting energy into trying to repair those leaves. The side light will likely help beef up the mid level buds but the bottoms always end up small and lady. Not worth the nutrients in my opinion.
Awesome thank you, I appreciate any and all info and advice. Just trying make sure everything is perfect. These are my largest planta ive grown so far so just tryng to maximize it

The key is to not overcomplicate and don't stress it. Don't worry if you don't maximize the entire plant. I'm years in and I still go "I should have..." It's a reminder that every grow is a lesson to learn. Have fun!
