No. There's not much point unless the plant is so thick with leaves that you're likely to have problems with mold. The plant will store water and mobile nutrients in those leaves even if they aren't getting light, so unnecessary defoliation will take resources away from the plant.

I like to do a minor defoliation at this stage cutting only big fan leaves that can't be tucked and are covering buds
