Worth defoliating some burned leaves at 25f

I'm 25 days since flip. On the first week after flip this plant got stressed from being moved on the outer edge of veg tent to the middle of flower tent and I burnt quite a few of it's fan leaves. No bud sites are burnt as I backed the light off some and it got used to the intensity. Is it worth it this late into flower to trim off all the burnt leaves? Or just leave them since most of them are mostly intact? I didn't want to do general defoliation and just lollipopped the bottoms but didn't know if it was worth it since these are damaged?

You could still take off a few of those fan leaves that are covering other primary bud sites though, on a totally unrelated note, I see a couple of primo choices. Doesn't have to be many, a few can make a big dif though.

Cool, thanks, yeah it looks like some would be the same burnt leaves. So 25 days in isn't too late to pluck anything off?

I'd be tucking those leaves behind the bud site it's covering. No need to cut shit off.

But if you just can't control yourself only take 2 per day.

I trim all the way through my flower stage.. about 15% of upper to mid big fan leaves once every 5 days to a week. It helps them not waste energy on so many fan leaves. Leave the sugars till close to the end but I am still clipping week 5 into flower they are doing very well..
