Should i defoliate the bottom fan leaves?

Hello everyone

Growing 2 autos on week 5 day 3
Seed company states that harvest is between week 9 and 10
Temp around 26.5
Humidity 55 pct

The bottom fan leaves are no longer getting light and are drooping. Should i trim the bottom leaves or is the best bet to just leave them until they yellow

Thanks in advance!

I'd leave most of them. On autos that far along I only take leaves that are sitting on the soil, staying wet, or really choking airflow. A shaded fan leaf can still feed the plant, and she'll drop it herself when she's done with it.
