Hello, I have a autoflower that will be 3 weeks old on the 24th. I’m wondering if I should do any leaf removal for light and air flow? Its short max height is supposed to be about 2ft but it’s already wide, and some leaves are touching the soil. I tried doing some leaf tucking but noticed condensation building up on some of the covered leaves. I change my air flow on the fan to be a little more direct.

Trim what is touching the soil, the direct air flow should help alot. Nice little plant.

Why are you tucking? Tucking is used to get more light to the buds that the leaves are blocking. With autos I only remove leaves that are in bad shape or that won’t stay tucked after 3 or 4 days of tucking. Some times you can just remove one leaf of the 5 or 7 leaves to get that needed light for a bud.
I also use a net for LST starting right at flower.
You should see your leaves fluttering slightly from the oscillating fan.

I was tucking the massive fans to get the future bud sites more light, though it would help the stems grow better. I’m still learning (second attempt).
