Your aim should be to keep every leaf happy from seedling to harvest.
If you remove them the ones that are left doing the most work encounter problems then you lose much more photosynthesis than if a lower shaded leaf begins to yellow or spotting etc.
For especially people new to growing don’t remove any leaves until brown and all crispy. The leaf will be sucking the nutrients out while your media can’t deliver them.
This gives you vital time to correct the issue that is taking place without losing photosynthesis.
