Removed fan leaves, new shoots coming up, genius or idiot?

Hi all, I recently cut some fan leaves off my outdoor plant. My last plant had some bud rot so I wanted to make sure it had airflow or whatever. I’m aware it was probably unnecessary but I was bored.
NOW there’s new shoots growing from where the leaves were cut. It’s acting as if I topped it. I can’t imagine this is normal right? Should I cut these off or have I accidentally created something amazing? I attached a couple of pictures, there’s like 50 of these things.

It's normal for the "stretch" phase. Leave the shoots, but cut those stems down on the leaves you already cut.

Those leaves you took off would have been food carbs and sugars for that new shoot that sprouted. Now you're fucked

There’s arguably more fan leaves than before now though

Of course the plant is still in veg its still gonna grow alot man even during flower it will stretch don't ever remove leaves if you want a good healthy plant with the biggest yield possible.
