Might as well leave it, i have had hefes that only started blowing off foam after day 4-5.

A blowoff is really just a big airlock, no real need to change it and risk needing it near the end if fermentation kicks up again.

I usually wait for a couple of days after blowage stops then replace with airlock. And start soaking the tube to help with cleanup.
