Leaves are fanning upwards and undergrowth is huge in flowering phase. Should i be worried about the upwards fan, should I trim on this point or just leave as is and just remove dead leaves?

When mine get to this point, I deleaf anything that doesn't have trichomes showing or are laying ontop of another bud..the flower auxins are in abundance and allowing a higher par down deeper into the canopy can really help out lower bud development. One rule I follow is to avoid removing more than 30% of the canopy on any day, usually followed up with a light nute application and a few days rest before another selective deleaf. To this end, I've reduced workload during trimming and have had less popcorn buds. On a side note, resin production is a defence mechanism of the plant to discourage browsing by pests. When the right amount of leaves are removed, the plant will respond with an increase in resin to counteract the browsing.. I don't know of any science study's that have been done in this area, but my trials have shown a noticable difference.. Cheers

Well at the time three weeks ago I would have said trim up the bottom to increase air flow and any huge fan leaves covering up bud sites which would be better off with that extra light ... Air circulation and light penetration are your friends in this arena ..how did the harvest go
