Oh yes there will be the need of some taking away... I wont talk about defoiliation, because the plant tries to replicate, what you take away. But " Leaf_tucking" is agood way too. At first clean the bottom area then look for flowering sites, and potetial leaves who are blocking the light. that means look every day or every second day and tuck away some leaves. and dont overdo it. because their time is limited, and all power should go into flower and not into reproducing leaves..... have anice day More " defoiliation" may be necessary if you get problems with to high humidity in late flower. But at theis poit your plants growing very vigor asnd bushy--- and i se no problem in taking away some leaves

She is likely to begin the stretch soon, so I would remove a few light blocking fan leaves at the top but that's it. You dont want to stress her out too much this close to the stretch, but you also want to get more colas so this seems like a reasonable solution. After the stretch ends, you have about two weeks to defoliate more.
