Mattos first plant

Guys this is my first run ever, an experiment, one plant outdoors in the uk, when the suns blazing shes outside, when its not she’s indoors, nothing technical at all about this plant and my knowledge, I just have a couple of questions being an absolute novice, should I defoliate any of the leaves as there are much smaller buds further down the plant, and could any one via the photos kind of determine how long this plant has left before she’s ready, cheers guys 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
