what up fiya growmie ! i would say let her coast, why? because what's a leaf pluck to you for the plant is HST, there's bound to be some kind of stress, plus if the plant looses leafs it starts producing more leafs, but if it's late on in its cycle it end up producing larfier buds ... that's why i dont really suggest to do defol in flower usualy. Hope this helps ! 🚀
