Should this branch be clipped off? I’m not liking how it’s touching the soil. Thoughts friends?

Seeing where it is, most of the growers do remove these especially if they have the potential of getting the nutrient solution on it since it's touching the soil, but usually when cleaning up the lower skirt in. Feel free to reach out if you ever need any help with your autos, we were all new at some point and needed a little guidance, so be shy !!!

To keep it short, cut off the leaves at the bottom. Because they get little light, the plant itself wants to get rid of them. Therefore, the leaves hang down.

Hey there!
Allow me to make it simple for you: these are some of the first set of leaves she kept since she was a seedling. You could very well remove it at this later stage as part of a period defoliation.
I normally defoliate to maximise direct light exposure to the bud sites. I do so almost daily ion tiny, small, manageable rounds, making sure never to deprive the plant of needed fan leaves.
You are at week 6, I think a light defoliation (include this one for cosmetic reasons) won't hurt.
By the way, excellent strain you picked: It is in my next run for sure.
Do drop me a DM and I will be glad to contribute to your questions as best as I can.

My stash is all but empty. Also, should I defoliate again?

Defoliation for better ventilation?Should I defoliate/prune to ensure better ventilation? I am going to flip the plant soon. It is quite bushy with big leaves and sometimes it is difficult to water it as there are a lot of leaves down there.
And when is it better to put the net? Before of after the flip?

Some guidance for ScrOG please@22cm & preflowering for about 4-5 days. Haven't noticed any stretching (~2-3cm)
When do I start with the ScrOG and at what height should one set the net ?
Also curious about defoliation: Right now, I keep tucking the fan leaves under the smaller ones.

Defoliation (no horizontal room in my tent and a lot of vertical room)This may seem like a dumb question but is cutting these small lower branches off going to promote vertical growth in my plants? I will be doing it later on anyways to eliminate larf but would it be more beneficial now or is it worth to keep to take in light energy for now

Defoliation AutoflowerHey fellow growers,
How should I approach defoliation with autoflowers during flowering? I'm thinking of removing lower leaves, especially near the soil. I prefer to be cautious to avoid mistakes. Reddit wasn't helpful as it seemed too critical. I hope for better insights here.
