yes, stop trimming the fan leaves. try to tuck them back out of the way if you can. or cut the tips off the ends of the leaves to allow more light through. dont just totally remove them. good luck..........
The fan leaves are like solar panels that absorb the energy from the lights, thus promoting photosynthesis. When you remove the fan leaves, you remove the light collection source that helps plants metabolize the nutrients they take in. This is why your growth is stunted. Typically, you should only remove dead or damaged leaves. When a leaf is 50% or more damaged, remove it. If you have leaves that are blocking light to lower leaves, tuck them out of the way, or tie down the branches to open up the plant to get light into the core. Hopefully, your plants will rebound and start growing vertically again. Good Luck!
