Just leave it how she is, removing leaves will decrease the amount of energy she can make, thereby slowing growth.
You could top the plant if it is not an auto, to make a multi cola plant, this will increase yield slightly, but is not necessary, some extra horizontal training can yield just as much, if not more.
I hope your bucket has drainage, otherwise drowning the plants roots is a likely outcome.
Also, if this is from "bag seed" be aware most "bag seeds" are the result of hermaphroditic plants, meaning any seeds produced this way will have a genetic dominance for being hermaphrodites themselves.
Good luck and happy growing!
