Plant is about 18 days old and I’m starting to see some spotting on the lower leaves. is this plant too young to start pruning?

It’s in the VIVOSUN 5gal Dwc. I could see the res through the hydroton so I covered with aluminum foil.

No you do not need to defoliate it's too young. If you are new grower don't do what the experienced youtubers do until you understand how these plants grow.
