PPP should I thin them?

[Vancefish]

I am a first time grower, and didn't quite know what to expect. My grow room is 8' x 8'. half devoted to 7 PPP and the other half to my white widow. All are under 4 400watt hps.
I am one month into flower, and my PPP are exploding! 27" to 32" high and bushy as all get out. I went 12/12 when they where 14 to 16 inches.
What I am wondering is should I thin out the mid and lower foliage to allow light and air? The leaves are all green and for the most part healthy, except for some limpness in the lower leaves. Or will they naturally drop the lower shaded leaves on their own. Some have been topped, some fimmed and two left alone, as I wanted to see which method produced the the most.
I am just kind of worried that all that dense foliage might be a problem later on. I do have very good ventiation, so I am not too worried about mold. And so far I have had no bugs at all. Pray it stays that way. I do know from reading other posts that dense foliage can be a sorce of mold or bugs.
Any suggestions? Or should I just let them be?

I can't tell you about thinning them at this stage. Sorry

I trimmed out all of my "sappers"(little, thin, no light branches), about two weeks ago, I thought I was a little late doing that too. However I'm at four weeks flower on MY first grow as well.

Is the pic you posted of yours AT 4 weeks flowering??
