Not a very good idea. How do you think that plant catches light to make food? The fan leaves, those big leaves on your plant.

Now with lower branches that are turning yellow or something, they will fall off when they are ready. IMO you just wasting your time and hurting your plant.
Think of it as someone cutting off your toes. Your going to focus more on your toe than anything else. The plant with be like "SHIT!, that hurt" and focus on repairing the damage, thus stressing it and slowing down bud production.
