Whatever you do, do not remove anymore leaves!!!
Less leaves = less energy = less growth.
Adding some humic acid, fulvic acid and amino acids will really boost health, boosting growth.
A P/K booster will also help.
She still has a long way to go, so don't get too worried yet, plenty of growth will still happen.
Just remember -
More healthy green leaves = more energy produced = more growth and more health.
Hope this helps,........
