I'm one who generally hates to defoli unless leaves are either overlapping, or directly blocking light to a budsite. If it is blocking light to say, a small popcorn budsite, I'll usually just remove the popcorn budsite and leave the leaf. It's also totally acceptable to tuck and bend the leaf in a way that lets light in and doesn't block light to another bud. I would defoli her some, but I would be very careful not to overdo it. I find that plants handle trimming best when you only remove 2-4 leaves a day, everyday until I am happy with the amount of penetration I'm getting. Doing trimming in large spurts of heavy defoliation seems to make them want to stand still for a couple days.

Well I’ve been tucking, hiding and moving to expose flowers, but I did trim handful for impossible tasks
