Should I defoiliate some big fan leafs?

maybe where bending isn't enough to avoid daily condensation where/if you have leaves physically overlapping each other.
leaves do more than just absorb light. keep as many as you can.

I'd leave her as she is for now unless they are causing a high RH. Looks spread out enough to leave as many leaves as possible.

I have 3 leaf problems. Look at the Day 26 pictures. The leaf closest to the fan has two tones. A closeup on day 25. The tip of one is yellow. Furthest from the fan, a leave has brown spots (I'm thinking a water drop caused a burn). Thoughts? Also, how do I raise the humidity?Week 4

All 3 of these seem to have different issues, have labeled the pics with the different plant, also got this one: https://growdiaries.com/diaries/10809-northern-lights-auto-fem-g13-labs with similar issues, not sure if those pictures will help as well.Week 7

Should I be concerned about the "hole" damage in "White Widow - Day 28 - Damage"? No bugs, checked everything. I've read that this type of damage can be a consequence of microtopping, which I've recently done. Other than this leaf, the plant is very healthy.Week 4
