Running out of space

Hi everyone my name is Growbhoy and I'm currently into my 8th day of the flowering stage of my first grow. I am growing a sinle plant of a strain called Green Punch in a grow tent. My question is in regards to the width of my plant which is now touching the sides of my tent. Should I trim the outside of the plant or just let it keep growing until harvest?

It's fine to let them grow up against the sides of the tent. If the branches/leaves start bunching up excessively, you'll want to rustle the leaves to make sure everything's getting good air circulation. Leaves growing right on top of each other will form condensation, which can lead to mold and mildew, which are both bad. So spend a few minutes each day separating the stacked fans to leave the moisture evaporate.

Or just remove half of them.
She doesn't need all those leaves.

This is the easier option instead of checking every day for PM/bud rot.
