Hi there, in my opinion if a leaf is not in the best of shape, like showing deficiency and the leaves below that look good then I would remove it to let light hit the better growth. Take a look from the top down and calculate what needs going before you remove it because its so easy to get caught up in defoliation and strip the plant before you know it.

Sweating leaves is not a problem...only if RH is too high buds will mold inside... Leaves usually won't mold I would set up another ventilator and try to keep RH as low as possible Removal of leaves is stress and can lead to herms, you can remove a few without any worries tho

Yes I'd still get in there and clean her up a little. I can see just from the picture some leaves blocking some prime bud sites.

Go for it! I do a heavy leaf strip at week five—- clear any areas that block air flow, touching, etx. Just the big fans that are getting in the way! It’s all good! ✌️🏻💚🌿💨

Stick to the yellowing leaves and you should be ok. I personally like to remove them if they are looking less then healthy- both for the overall look of the plant, and to keep them from causing any mold issues (if they are ultimately just going to die and add moisture to a bud).

If you are going to defoliate a few i wouldn't wait. Just take the few that you think need to be taken. Maybe ramp up on the air movement also. Best of luck the rest of the way.
