Only if they are more than 50% affected by the burn.

just leave them alone they will drop off themselves.
check your ph and whats causing this.
(heavy nutes???).

you should choose a neutral ph soil like"potting" soil or "top soil".
and no nutes for the first 3 weeks(NONE).

remeber flushing mg soil can make more fert release so let it dry like normal and don't overwater as wet soils tend to be acidic sounds ph related on a plant that small or heat

just mix your neutral potting or top soil with perlite(60% soil 40% perlite).
(perlite already has nutes in it).
so no nutes for the first 3 weeks just water(ph ok).

always leave leaves on your plants unless the entire leaf stem is purple, more than 50% (i'd really say 75%) of the leaf is dead and you are able to take it off simply by pressing ever so gently downward on the dead leafs stem, it should come off with a breeze, otherwise leave it, it still has life in it.

only prune leaves when effected by pests that actually live inside the leaf and can spread throughout the branch, (certain type of worms) or when you need light to get to a lower branch that you want to grow more. Never prune 3 week prior to inducing flowering

just some tips for future reference, hope they are helpful
