I’m a bit worried about not having enough fan leaves to last to harvest but the ones I took were no longer worth keeping. Does anyone share my concern?
I think you’ll be ok. Some people strip all the fan leaves (except for the ones at the top) at 2-3 weeks into flower. Supposed to help create bigger buds. A few vids on YouTube about that. Called a preflower strip I believe. I actually did that with my mother plant just to test the theory. Seemed to work too. If it didn’t, it certainly didn’t diminish my yeild. @Redeyedranger
If it makes you feel better once any shoot grows out 1/4 to 1/2” I cut off the fan leaves and I cut off throughout the veg and flowering. It also cuts down on trim time also because they are already removed

Today I had an awesome ah-ha moment. That wonderful smell from the buds was so familiar to me but I couldn’t figure it out for the life of me until I read it on a thread. They smell just like fruity pebbles. Guy nailed it.
I mostly messed with the clones today but I pulled the middle plant out in the light and trimmed a few leaves. This is one of the two I pretty much left alone. Only 1 top each I think
The one on the right is barely 2x2 but bushier than all get out. She had 4 and 5 leaves stacked on one another. Literally everywhere. Worked on trimming and lst for about two hours and can’t really tell a difference
