no a lot of growers trim the lower leaves off called lollipop trimming.
you want to remove the dead ones and trim a bit in the least.

...Mind you... if you have a small grow and have sufficient light all around you want to remove the least possible..
So depends and I responded without knowing what your exact grow conditions are :P

between week 4 and 5 I really cleaned out a lot of upper fan leaves to open up the lighting to the lower branches. I also increased nutes that would add to bud locations and had/ have an explosion of buds :D
Now my girls are starting to look more like corn stalks then bushy weed..
I have 6 in a 4X4X8 and the 1000 w hps cool tube does the job and then some :)
