Leaves are not "sinks." They are value added and you should not remove them. they are not 'taking nutrients' from your plant.
the cotyledons are irrelevant, but can be still useful as an early signal to adjust any fertilization choices. They'll be sacrificed first by the plant. Unlike all other leaves, they are not as functional.
Wait for the plant to start to shed them, if it does. No reason to cut the plant when there is no benefit from doing so. Keep that sort of OCD-driven behaviour deep in the closet.

Siendo tan pequeña yo todavia no podaria nada, dejala seguir con su ciclo de vida.
Si es automatica directamente ni le hagas podas y si es fotoperiodica yo te recomendaria podar 1 semana antes de pasar a flora y una vez dentro de la flora solo defoliar hojas grandes que tapen cogollos.
Buenos humos✌️✌️

DO NOTHING!!! Let it grow. Don't start fiddling around this early in its life.

It wouldn’t hurt. But I always wait until a few sets of leaves have developed until I cut them off. As long as it’s green it is conducting photosynthesis.

Hey there, looking good so far! Honestly, we've never bothered to cut the little cotyledons - can't imagine it'll harm the plant but usually nature will take its course and they'll fall away. It is important to note that if they fall in the medium you'll definitely want to pull them out - leaves on the top of the soil can lead to mold issues!

If your talking about the single fingered leaves and responding nodes I tend to cut them when the other leaves kick into gear. Probably a few days time.
