The only ones I take off doing a bush like that would be the really big/older ones down low, covering the tiny middle shoots

If you were to take those off and flip now they should reach the canopy while you train the rest outwards during stretch

I follow the same path. I don't want to take away what is essentially food for the plant.

Never give advice. Wise men don't need advice. Fools won't take it.
