If you are in week 5 i wouldn’t take them all at once, remove only the ones that shade buds or lay on top of eachother. A full leafstrip would be quite some stress for week 5 in my opinion. This is a nice tutorial: https://www.growweedeasy.com/nebulas-super-simple-3-step-defoliation-tutorial

The leaves make ALL of the energy that the plant needs to grow and thrive. Certainly do not remove leaves for no reason. Less leaves = less energy being made = less potential growth. Why anyone would think that removing all the fan leaves would be a good thing, is just weird. In 40 years of growing, I am yet to see any plant that gets rid of its own perfectly healthy, green, energy producing leaves.
