I've been doing this for the last couple of weeks - since I'm now in flowering, I cut away the big fan leaves both to get the plants closer to the lights and to concentrated the plants' energy in the flowering parts instead of in making the fan leaves grow bigger. In fact, I have some drying right now on my TV. Don't do it just because they smell nice, though.
