Nah man. One thing I learned is not to trim... I think its just a tendency to wanna "Improve" or "fix" something.. Even when budding and theirs alot of shade... Just Move the leaves.. never trim.. Bud will be bud shaded or not.

Dont trim/prune/supercrop/transplant during flowering if you can avoid it. If you feel the need you can gently LST the branches to spread them and you can tie or tuck the big fan leaves back. It's the leaves that make the bud. Like RawBudski said, light on the buds themselves is less important.
