BlocZanswered grow question 2 months ago The micro drops of water on the surface of the leaves is due to evapotranspiration of the leaf which is in contact just above it. If there is enough air circulating in the canopy, there is no risk of bud mold. Defoliation is useful for getting rid of large fan leaves that are completely in the shade, or that block light on the buds that are underneath. It is also done to improve the air circulation in the heart of the plant. But in any case, you will always have leaves touching each other and these micro drops of water. Moreover, during flowering, you can lower the humidity of your box, the plant does not need as much humidity as in growth. And on the contrary, the drier the climate, the more resin is produced 😉✌️
